Questions regarding Water Company.

Morning:

If conflicts of interest are being brought out in the open. Let's be fair and share with all of the council members.

Question: What about some of the building fees being waved on the new GT Water Co.?

There are several new buildings on the property.

Is there a conflict? The mayor's husband has been on the water board for years.

Gramps Says:

The water company is an automatic conflict for anyone on the City Council who owns property in Grand Terrace as all lots come with a share of the water company. The Mayor's Husband being on the board does complicate the issue some. IF the water company has constructed things without paying fees then there should be an investigation as to who approved the waiver and if there was in kind work provided to the city in other way.

I do recall the ban on metal buildings was waived for the Water Company and the rest of the citizens are still required to build with other materials. This is at least one problem I recall with the buildings and applications and so forth.

It isn't so much who did it, or what was done as to HOW it was done... that
