BF
This board has been a great outlet for a lot in BF. BF needs to get citizens together and create a coalition. No longer can one or two people fight for us all. There are major changes that could be made in the municipal code that would help us out a lot. Citizens should move towards a moritorium until adjustments are made. The problem with the majority of council is they think that nothing can be done and they are doing the best job they can...wrong. BF has a weak open space committee, the recreation department is a joke. Council members I have spoken to appear to be sincere; however, they are not sincere enough to make some changes in the laws that govern the city. There are many laws that could help us all but they will not roll up their sleeves to change them. Council says sorry guys, this is what we are stuck with. And staff supports them by saying this is what the law is and it would be challenged in the courts. I would think Bf would welcome opposition it shows that citizens are wanting to be involved and want to make a change but it seems that instead some council members say we are ignorant. Council needs new blood and Olstad cannot do it all on his own.
