City Councilor meeting tonight.

City council meeting tonight. There does not seem to be much on the agenda.

However councilor Gilbert is again going to complain about the beacon condo's. This councilor has always been against development unless you are a non-profit.

City councilor Stewarts ordince is still on the agenda. The ordince deals with limiting money they city would provide for development. The ordince is a real good one at this time. I hope it does not change to much.



***New***

This came from an email. We recieved from Connect Duluth. It is another point on councilor Gilbert's resoultion on the Beacon Point.

Resolution 06-0182R is the Gilbert resolution requesting whether or not the Beacon Point condominium development has violated a water resource management ordinance in terms of setbacks from high water marks. The maximum height restriction didn’t seem to have legs so Gilbert might as well go after this one. This is also the same resolution that popped up on the agenda two weeks ago without notification to the developer or their attorney.

Thank goodness it was tabled and the affected parties will realize their due process rights. Watch the grandstanding tonight by councilor Gilbert and count how many times he says, “This is a travesty,” or “This is horrible”, or “We should ‘red tag’ the development”, or “How could this have happened?” These phrases are oftentimes accentuated by exaggerated voice inflection and breathy overtones.

Our message to councilor Gilbert . . . quit grandstanding and patronizing. We are adults so tell us your points like we are adults. If you’re running for mayor, like a lot are suspecting, you’ve already tried twice.
