Resident urges sewer work and criticizes low election turnout during council public comment
Summary
Michael McRee of 1191 Kennsington Circle told council that only half his neighborhood has sewer service, said he worked with staff on street names, and criticized low voter turnout, saying about 49,873 could have voted and "only 4,000-ish did," with 478 undervotes.
During the public-comment period resident Michael McRee of 1191 Kennsington Circle told the council he toured his neighborhood with Dennis Falder and said only half the neighborhood currently has sewer service. McRee said he had conversations with Alex Bonda of Prestige about subdivision and street names and provided Randy Williams a copy of the proposed names.
McRee also expressed frustration about voter turnout in a recent election, saying roughly 49,873 could have voted but "only 4,000-ish did," and noting there were 478 undervotes. "It is almost a crime, why register if not going to vote?" he said.
The council did not take action on these public-comment items at the Jan. 9 meeting; they were entered into the minutes as citizen concerns.
