Concerns rise over rapid permit approval for recovery facility
Concerns were raised during a recent government meeting regarding the operations of a nonprofit organization, Diamond Recovery, which is linked to multiple businesses. A speaker highlighted the lack of transparency on the organization's website, noting the absence of specific services and physician names, with only the owner, Travis, listed as a contact. This raised questions about the legitimacy of the nonprofit status, especially given the association with other businesses that could potentially profit from its operations.

Another speaker, Brian Clark, expressed astonishment at the rapid approval of a construction permit for the facility, citing his background in construction. He questioned how inspections for hazardous materials like asbestos and lead paint could be completed in such a short timeframe, suggesting that proper protocols may not have been followed. Clark emphasized the importance of transparency and accountability, urging the city to thoroughly vet the businesses involved.

City officials responded by clarifying that while they do not conduct building inspections, residents can request access to inspection reports and other records through a formal government records request. They acknowledged the need for a more open forum for residents to voice their concerns and ask questions directly to city staff.

The discussions underscored the community's desire for clarity and oversight regarding the operations of local nonprofits and the construction processes associated with them.
