Are councilman Tolis and some of the other council members that are supporting the lagoon telling us spending millions on the project is now more important than funding the necessities and priorities of our town?

Mr. Tolis said he is upset about the inaccurate information and misinformed comments being circulated. Does that include the misinformation he told us about the sanitary district having no concerns? Also the overstatement about a green light claim from the Arizona state parks department? Is he telling us our retired sanitary district manager lied when he said they do have concerns about the lagoon?

Tolis has stated after the first two studies are completed in October, more extensive studies will follow. I guess the Applied Economics firm hired to determine the cost does not matter? He wants to continue with more studies no matter what the cost.

Considering our town’s charter, constitution and bylaws we have a nonprofit identity: are we permitted by law to engage in a business for profit? Is it a conflict of interest for a city to issue itself a permit or license to run a business for profit, like food concessions? I am sure the other food businesses will love that. Is it legal to use tax payers’ money to build, own and operate a business for profit and losses?

Have the council members read any of the parking regulations laws? They are the laws that ensure traffic safety and adequate off-street parking. Sec.20.55.030 (A) on the same site as the use necessary such parking: (B) within 300 ft. of walking distance, etc. It goes on to regulate the amount of spaces for swimming pools, concessions, employees, handicap and even motorcycles; also, aisles and driveways.

This parking lot will be huge! Residences in the area, what about noise?
