One Misunderstanding?
At the meeting tonight they voted to have a public hearing in two weeks on the issue in which they could continue the application or remove it.
A couple of us did have a chance to speak with some of our Council Members and I have to say that they left me very frustrated. Every time I talk to someone from the city they want to tell me about how I misunderstand the proposal and when I explain my understandings they don't have any corrections!
Perhaps the misunderstanding is that I thought we lived in a democracy, or that what our neighborhood had to say mattered. Then again maybe the misunderstanding is that what was explained to me by Gary McGinn (city lawyer) was either correct and not adequately communicated to the council or incorrect but I somehow doubt it.
Enough griping though, we still have a battle to fight.
Meeting in Two weeks

City officials must not resort to patronization when interacting with Provo residents. There shouldn't be a Mason-Dixon line here. Just adults discussing issues and treating each other with respect. That's my two cents.
