Resident questions levy‑bond letter; Council cites $4,700 mailing cost
Summary
A resident criticized a mailed levy‑bond letter as insufficiently informative; Council Member Mark Bishop defended it and Mr. Powell said the city paid about $4,700 to mail the letters.
During the public‑comment period, resident Liza Durbin said a levy‑bond letter mailed to residents “wasn’t as informative as she hoped it would be.” Council Member Mark Bishop responded: “The letter, I thought, was pretty good,” and encouraged residents to attend tours the city offered for more information about the project.
President of Council Kevin Mattscheck asked about the cost to send the mailing. Mr. Powell said the city spent approximately $4,700 to mail the letters. The exchange occurred during public comment and did not generate a formal action; Council members pointed listeners toward informational tours as a forum for more detail.
