During a recent government meeting, significant concerns were raised regarding the safety and environmental implications of the Zinc Dam project. A presentation was scheduled to inform the public about these issues, although the mayor's office declined to send a representative, citing a desire to avoid engagement on the topic.

The discussion highlighted the lack of communication between the mayor's office and concerned citizens, with questions about the absence of prior inquiries submitted for the meeting. Participants expressed frustration over the limited interaction with city officials, indicating that this might be one of the last opportunities for public discourse on the matter.

The presenters, representing a coalition of concerned citizens, emphasized their commitment to public health and safety, particularly regarding the Arkansas River and Zinc Lake. They underscored the moral obligation of the city to address these safety concerns and ensure responsible use of taxpayer funds.

As the meeting progressed, the presenters requested that questions be held until after their presentation, which included a PowerPoint detailing the issues at hand. The session aimed to document the safety concerns raised, ensuring that they would be officially recorded for future reference.
