The water discussion starts at 2:16:38. A presentations was made by by WSB on the possible water treatment plant options that Minnetrista could move forward with. The council didn't feel comfortable moving forward with plans for design and wanted more time to research other available options. They plan on having another water discussion on Feb. 18th. The conversation around land and design were very heated and emotional. Check out 2:36:00 of the video link.
I felt odd being at a special meeting where I was only presented with one companies views and pricing. I work in Advertising and I have worked on many pitches knowing that I am also pitching my ideas and prices against other candidates. Where is the research showing me (the tax payer) that the research was done and the best possible agency won the business? Where are the other WSB's? I would gladly sit though more boring power point "pitches". Show me what you got and convince me THE CLIENT that the options you are suggesting for my city are not band-aid solutions but solutions that will last my family and my neighbors (some of which I do lump into my family) the test of time. For as long as we own our dream houses. Houses we put a lot of pride into owning.
When is comes down to it, we all just want the best possible solution. The cleanest water possible, not just the clearest water possible.
