Working Together?

At tomorrow's night City Commission meeting, the commissioners are going to vote on whether to approve or deny a consulting agreement with Water Right Solutions, Inc. out of Helena. This would not be the first agreement the City has had with this company.

I admit I'm confused by this whole water rights thing. I don't know if approving this agreement could cause problems down the road or not. Are there legitimate reasons for this agreement or is the City up to something? Maybe tomorrow night we will learn more.

What I find interesting is that "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".

Is it normal procedure for staff to consult with only one of the commissioners and based upon that commissioner's "concurrence" place something on the agenda? I know Commissioner Jolley was not aware of Bronson's involvement in this.

Isn't the City Commission supposed to be working together?

Bronson reviewed and concures? Now I'm really worried. So far his actions have not impressed me. Mary is the only one that understands the responsibility.

I'm with you. I'm also wondering if the city attorney looked at this or if Balzarini went straight to Bronson.

Based on Bronson's comments at the Commission meeting this post is incorrect. Are you going to clarify or just leave this incorrect and misleading information?

First of all Anon. 7:27, the information is a direct quote taken from the document. I didn't make it up. Read it. It's there.

Your assertion, therefore, that this post is incorrect or misleading is wrong.

It is what it is and will remain as such.

I have posted about Bronson's denying this recommendation had anything to do with the agreement.

Maybe Ms. Balzarini misundersood, or maybe Bronson is trying to cover his backside.

Folks have been given the information. They can come to their own conclusions.
