My agenda from the County Council shows Bill 189 being transmitted from Finance Director Nancy Crawford, dated Dec. 16, 2009. Comm. 659
Thanks for that info Rob.
In the conversation with Finance, their claim was that they were putting the bill forward for someone else -- which is sometimes, but not always, the case for the Finance Dept.
Per the Communication (659) with Bill 189, cost appears to be the 'why', which, as Obie said, points the finger at Finance.
This is the punch line from that Communication:
"The only cost control available for the program is
to limit consumption at the spigot locations."
It really could be that Bill 189 was already on the 'to-do list' for cutting costs and has been serendipitously introduced at the worst possible time -- during a dry period. ouch!
Given that point and the several unanswered (evaded?) questions, it doesn't appear that a great deal of thought was put into this.
Which raises another question, do any of the following people rely on catchment and/or spigots?: Mayor, Finance Director, Councilors.
