SEWAGE TREATMENT PLAN MAY BE DECIDED NEXT WEEK
May 27, 2009
THERE IS NO DECISION TODAY FROM THE CAPITAL REGION'S LIQUID WASTE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE, ON A SEWAGE TREATMENT STRATEGY.
THE COMMITTEE HAS FORMALLY RECEIVED THE STAFF REPORT, THAT WENT PUBLIC LAST WEEK, BUT BY THE TIME THEY CLEARED ALL THE OTHER ITEMS ON THEIR AGENDA TODAY THERE WAS JUST A MATTER OF MINUTES LEFT FOR A DEBATE THAT AT LEAST ONE DIRECTOR SUGGESTED MIGHT REQUIRE SEVERAL HOURS.
THE COMMITTEE VOTED TO PUT THE MATTER OFF TO A SPECIAL MEETING NEXT WEEK...ALTHOUGH SOME MEMBERS AREN'T HAPPY ABOUT IT. SUSAN BRICE SCOLDED HER COLLEAGUES BLUNTLY...
"It does amaze me that colleagues with clocks and watches and an agenda in front of them can't scope it out and manage the time; and not be startled that all of a sudden there's only, you know, a half an hour left for the most important item on the agenda."
SEVERAL COMMITTEE MEMBERS MADE LENGTHY SPEECHES CONGRATULATING STAFF FOR THE GROWING SUCCESS OF A "SOURCE CONTROL PROGRAM", WHICH AIMS TO PREVENT UNDESIRABLE MATERIALS FROM GOING INTO THE SEWERS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
