To All COLA LO Members,
COLA continues to receive quite a few comments from concerned citizens regarding city council decisions. It seems a renewed level of concern is amassing in LO these days. Its surprising given the results of the 2012 election and what many thought would be a "reform" council.
Tuesday evening the council voted 4-2 to approve $1.7 million in funding for streetlights after staff disclosed they could not meet plans to improve streets. Yet at the same time they have decided to widen streets generating a petition drive which will likely require a "special election". Details can be found in a recent article
Special Election Challenge.
The council's decision to enter into an agreement with $5+ million in taxpayer funds to develop the Wizer block with high density residential rentals is now creating organized opposition to their position. It seems the new group "save our village" is gaining wide support in the community.
Many in the city are now questioning if this council is meeting the promises it made during the 2012 and 2010 elections? Will this have an impact on the 2014 election outcome? We believe it will at this point, especially if residents continue to organize in opposition to the councils direction.
Please notify all members, contacts, and friends....
