About Those Rats....

Did any of you attend or watch the September 17 Council Workshop meeting? I viewed it via Sailor’s website.

During that meeting they talked for over 30 minutes on the Rat Issue (start time 1:03 -- end time 1:34), including drafts of a letter to residents about this issue and remedies that the citizens could initiate. This lengthy debate was thorough and covered everything from how the letter would be mailed (first class vs. bulk) to the format and discussion items for the Town Hall Meeting, as well as various other issues.

Obviously this was an important enough issue for “Empty” to promise a Town Hall Meeting.
It was important enough for 30 minutes of debate! Yet, the letter has not darkened anyone’s mailbox!!!!

The meeting is tonight!!! How many affected residents will attend?
I am sure you may get some folks who come to all meetings because of their interest in civic happenings. I am sure you will get those who cheer on “Empty” Schneider’s every move. As much as they have the right to be there, the meeting isn’t for them. The purpose is to address a problem of the residents WITH THOSE RESIDENTS!

Almost an entire month to send out a letter notifying the residents of this meeting--nothing was done!!

Just another example of the complete incompetence at City Hall.
Just another reason why we need a fully-qualified City Administrator.

The city’s website states:

The City of Overland is asking your help to identify and address a potential rat problem.

A potential problem?!

This has been a REAL problem for many residents for 2-3 years.
