If you really love this town, then do the best thing for it and allow someone in that office that will do what is the right thing for the community and listen and do what the community wants. You work for the community, you were placed there because no one else ran that year, I think the town people have found that grave error to have been detrimental to this town and that will not happen again. As a public figure, it is up to you to listen and you don't. The council meeting was one big argument the whole time, you arguing with everything the town people said, how is that listening? I and others would like answers to our questions and not to be blown off. I know it was brought up that you resign before, if you truly listened to the people of this community, you would have do so then, it is not a select few that want you out of office, it is a select few that want you to stay in office. Roberts Rule Of Order, the majority vote wins correct? Please just take a minute to reflect on how many would like you to step down and just do it.

To top it all off, they pull this the day before the Holiday weekend. Knowing that we would not be able to go in until Monday to get it turned back on. I know that stating my opinion at a meeting is not popular with the Mayor, but to pull this on us is not ethical and is vindictive. Well Mayor Sand, well played, you might however need to start sending out shut off notices and send out bills with the correct information on them. My garbage bill is all tied into my town bill, when that is the only service I used until less than a week ago and my deposit being paid, I had no water bill to warrant my water being shut off. It's also not like you or the treasurer, who does the billing couldn't have pulled one of us aside at the council meeting and said something there and we would have then paid the bill, to wait until before a holiday and to pull that with no previous water bill being owed and with a disabled veteran in the home is so unethical it is pathetic. <br />Did the council his the company out of Douglas to do the water rate study or did you do that on your own because it was apparent at the meeting that the towns people were confused as to why Rural Water was not doing it like they have in the past. It was also stated that Rural Water did not have time "at this time" to do the study, then, after a little more questioning from the towns people, it was stated that this study has been requested for a year. So, we are being told bottom line that Rural Water has not had time in a year to come up? So, we would like you to produce the documentation that shows that the council agreed to the hiring of this other company and we will ask the man who tapes every meeting to check his tapes to see when it was voted on. We will also be calling Rural Water to check and see when the requests from the town came in for them to come do the study. That is one the wonderful things of being married to a "water man" he knows the people to talk to and he knows the questions to ask. <br />There have been so many other issues here. Changing the Mayor slot from a 2 year term to a 4 year term upon taking over started this off, then to remove the nepotism and have a close family member become treasurer. Yes, these were passed through a council at that time of friends instead of other town members who also put in for the slots but were not appointed. The list of what has happened in this town goes on from the upstanding people that do live here that it has been mind boggling. <br />So, to all who might consider moving here, please either come with the knowledge that we need you to help us take our town back or wait until the next election when other people run and the Mayor isn't chosen because no one else ran. <br />Madam Mayor, we are tired of being over run and ignored and this council that is there now has brains enough to know what to vote on and what to shut down. This is the people's town, not exclusively yours, so we will see you there at every meeting and we will be heard as we have a right to be. Also, again, you have your opinion of what you think is right and we have all heard it, that does not make yours the only one that matters. As far as where I bank, that is not your concern either! Your opinion is your opinion and so be it, but as long as we pay our taxes in this county and that town money belongs to the town and is not your personal account, you can have your opinion and I can have mine but trying to shut me up at a council meeting over it once your opinion is out is not going to work. There will be no untruths told from my lips, can you say the same about yours? <br />Tina Kirlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922396229068585159noreply@blogger.com
