Bronson Denies Recommendation

Here I posted about Commissioner Bronson evidently reviewing and concurring with the agreement proposed between the City and Water Right Solutions: "based upon staff's recommendation and Commissioner Bronson's review and concurrence of the recommendation, the Commission is asked to approve this agreement and first amendment".

After Stuart Lewin discussed why he was not in favor of item #15 of the agreement, Indemnification, and after the city manager requested the motion to pass the agreement be withdrawn until further review of the agreement could be undertaken, Commissioner Bronson made it clear his recommendation had nothing to do with the agreement, but with an e-mail that was sent by staff to the commissioners at the end of February.

So, one of two things happened:

1. Coleen Balzarini misunderstood Bronson's concurring and recommending and thought it meant he concurred with the agreement, or

2. Bronson did concur and recommend the agreement, but once he found out that he may not have paid very close attention to certain wording, he denied his recommendation.

No matter what happened, it ain't good.

Or, perhaps, Ms. Balzarini really, really, wanted the Agreement approved, so she stepped just a leeeetle bit over the line and got caught?

"Based upon Staff’s
recommendation and Commissioner Bronson’s review and concurrence of the recommendation (copy
attached), the Commission is asked to approve this agreement and first amendment."
So, where is the "copy attached"? There is a Staff recommendation but there is no email attached to that link. There is an Agreement and an Amendment.

Commissioner Bronson ought to read what's being presented for his vote at the commission meeting. Apparently the rubber stamp got him on the forehead this time......

I had better hopes for this man.....SAD!
