Until there is enforcement rather than caving every time, you will never get compliance with the rules. Once it starts costing people money they will take notice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-70214303541098826522022-09-22T11:25:45.553-07:002022-09-22T11:25:45.553-07:00Why bother having qualified and well paid City sta...Why bother having qualified and well paid City staff to provide input or set out options for consideration when councillor Niesh can do a site inspection, cast an eye over the proposed variance and pronounce that looks okay? <br />Voting day is October 15. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877493408875483921.post-62980292952876444582022-09-22T10:44:22.097-07:002022-09-22T10:44:22.097-07:00Why is Niesh concerned about the contractor losing...Why is Niesh concerned about the contractor losing time. The item before council is simple. Does the current construction meet the variance that was applied for? If not bring it into compliance. <br />Mr. Niesh says he has no problem supporting all the variances requested. We are back to build it and ask for forgiveness. This is not the way normal cities operate. It is like the voluntary parking tickets just do what you want.<br />The city is not going to improve with this do what you want attitude.

I hope our new city manager can drive the necessary change our community needs. <br /><br />City Hall needs to re-establish and enforce standards to ensure the foundation of our community is solid, and consistent moving forward. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
