Contrived Emergency 3

So what is the solution?

Send out the request for bid immediately, sign the contract and get the donut work going.

What is left can then be requested to be spent on grinder pumps. It will be easier to ask the state to change the terms of the grant AFTER the Sewer Plant is fixed.

That is what the grant was for - but once the original terms of the grant has been met- it is easier to ask the state to allow us to keep it and buy grinder pumps.

If we buy grinder pumps right away - we run the risk of not having enough money to fix the Sewer Plant.

The same for the Federal Loan. It is easier, once everything is getting spent on fixing the Sewer Plant (again, the real reason for the loan) it is easier to ask for the rest of the funds to be spent and the rest of the loan be converted.

By having meeting over meeting over meeting, by yelling, being more worried about trying to make the mayor look bad - the real work, the work of the council is NOT getting done.

Go ask the Village office yourself - has any Request for proposal been put out for the Sewer Repair? Why not? (Hint - it's because the Council hasn't voted to put it out to bid).
