And I just loved the way that Commissioner Gary Kiedaisch tried to project that he’s both a victim while being an accuser. I’ll return to this in a bit. First, the videos from the meeting. They are edited for time and issue and if anyone wants the entire meeting, I can provide that as well.
First up was the Call To Order, the Pledge, and then the Commisioners announcing that the Public Comment Session that is normally held at the end of the meeting was moved to the beginning. The complaint was made from last month’s meeting was that the public had to wait 5.5 hours until they could have their say (quite late). Even with that, there was consternation by the public. Again, more on that when I make some general comments:
Next part of the Agenda was the financials presentation:
Next was the review of Capital Expenditure projects – and more than a little bit of money being spent. The first was concerning the main parking lot. Now just dirt, it is to be paved, lights put up, drainage, electric car charges, and the like. Consternation again as only one bid was received and that company used to have an employee on the GAC.
The others were the Stockade Lodge and the Cannonball water line reconstruction (the oldest one on the property):
Then, GAC Committee Reports: Legal, Snowsports, and Technology.
There’s a fourth one, the Audit Committee, but I’m still working on that one. And the second Public Comment session. “Acrimonious” is a decent word to use and speaks, in part, to Kiedaisch. And Rusty McLear’s outburst before the beginning of the meeting that I’ll talk about later. Civility much?
This was the easy part and it should be easy to tell what is the elephant. Next post will show it more fully.
