Tomorrow at 5:30 there is a commission workshop on 1) Reverse Osmosis Treatment Plant options and 2) discussion on the P.B. County Water Contract.
After reading on this it seems to me that Staff, again, is a stumbling block. It is telling the Commission by reminding them of the options, once again, for the hundredth time, that they just don’t know what they want, not really and they are there to tell them. It says in the back-up, “The Commission may choose to change the past policy decision (going with PB County Water) and direct the Administration to construct a Reverse Osmosis Plant.” THE COMMISSION ALREADY TOLD YOU THAT.
Staff says that it can go with PB County Water and not have to bond out any more money by using the bond money we have. I was always under the impression that the bond money was for building a Reverse Osmosis Plant. It is in the covenants. If that is the case, how can the city use this bond money for PB County water? How does that work?
Staff is giving the Commission the three options AGAIN. How many times do they have to do that before they understand that the vote was to go with the Reverse Osmosis system? How many times will the Mayor be filibustering the water issue? How many more times will Staff try to swing this back around to staying with the County? Next it will be trying to change the Commission’s mind on exiting FMPA. Wait and see.
Regarding the segment on PB County Water, all the back-up is on the beach. Confusing? Yes. That is the strategy. : The backup has now been changed.
