At this time we do not have any information on when this material will be presented.
Members of the board have had MANY meetings with City officials over the past 10 years attempting to gain clarification on means for securing commitments and finance for the known failing seawalls.
In August of 2014 we were very pleased to hear an enthusiastic response from the New City Manager (Mr. Nyhoff), indicating that he would assist in our search for answers from the finance department. That was our first meeting with Mr. Nyhoff. At subsequent meetings it became apparent that he was discovering many issues with budgets and the state of the assessment districts, however, we were assured that due to the timeframe of this issue it would be addressed as soon as possible.
During the budget meetings and community meetings this past summer of 2015 we have raised questions and concerns and are no closer to any useful information regarding this dilemma.
In fact – it has become more problematic in that the contract with TranSystems was not renewed in February.
In reviewing the documents regarding the assessment districts is is very clear that our unique concerns regarding the failing seawalls, are nowhere on the basic presentation materials.
We sent a letter following the Town Hall meeting in September – no response was received – though none was required.
