Planning Commission

In keeping with it's statutory autonomy, the Planning Commission has stuck with it's original decision and refused to re-bid the position of City Planner and firm of record for city planning services. That's how I read it anyway. I might also read into this that the Planning Commission has -- respectfully -- given the city council The Bird for not respecting their judgement in the first place.

They wrote us a letter last week saying that they didn't think that re-doing the process of asking for proposals and interviewing respondents would be fruitful and that Bucher, Willis Ratliff and Ron Williamson were the best team for the job.

If you read, "Conflict of Interest or Much Ado About Nothing" from my November posts, you know I agree with the Planning Commission and have always voted against dumping the current firm and Planner just because the mayor is a principal with BWR.

I would appreciate your thoughts.
