Now how about some real reporting.
...Welcome home.<br /><br />Now how about some real reporting.<br /><br />By notice of September 16, 2011, the State Health Department notified the City (through the mayor's office?) that there existed "sufficient grounds , as a matter of fact and law" for the issuance of a "Stipulation and Order" under the Public Health Law because the City had failed to move on an additional water supply.<br /><br />The Health Dept. levied a $25,000 fine. On August 31, 2012, almost a year later, the Commissioner of Public Works signed a stipulation committing the City to develop an additional water supply. The stipulation was signed without City Council authorization.<br /><br />The Charter requires formal, public authorization to enter into any such agreement and only the mayor may do so.<br /><br />The stipulation required the City to have wells designed, installed and pump tested by today, October 31.<br /><br />Also, by Dec. 31, the City is required to submit pump test reports and preliminary design plans. Where is $ coming from? Why h as this been kept from the public? Why was the agreement signed without Council approval and knowledge? What did the mayor's office know and when?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
