We would truly like to explore whether this is possible. We are confident that given the new city dynamic that a fresh approach to this issue is possible and in the best long-term interest of all concerned.” “The foundation continues to explore a variety of solutions and would like to know if the council is interested in partnering with us on any level.” (April 23, 2012 Letter to Honorable Mayor Burnett & City Council Members from Melanie C.

Two mayors, 2 city administrators and councilmen and councilwomen essentially ignored three different parties interested in the Flanders Mansion. Their behavior tells me they were not interested in problem-solving, finding common ground solutions or doing good by the community. They wanted to impose their agenda no matter how illogical and insane. They should all be ashamed.
