Didn't get to the city council meeting until about 8:45 last night. Apparently comments from citizens about Mayor Cole's water privatization "option E" took up better than half the meeting time and, even though the meeting ended at 8:08, there were still a few people discussing it when I arrived.
Some notable points of the meeting were Mayor Cole's comment that there were no bidders on the water works and no action had been pursued on it aside from drafting the proposal (have to wonder where the $42 million figure came from then), Councilwoman Mary Pohnman's presentation of budget alternatives, and Councilman Chris Wissmann's call for those opposing privatization to come up with their own proposals.
Expect to see yard signs popping up throughout town opposing privatization and a good sized turnout for the IMC's presentation of Flow next week.
