The community needs more time to understand what the Carousel Mall proposals are. Our city
residents and the council need to make sure we don't rush into any contracts or agreements.
We need to demand the BEST from those we contract with and negotiate concessions from
them. They should not think that they can easily take advantage of our city, nor should they
underestimate our wisdom and our strength. So, let's make sure we fully comprehend the
down-stream consequences. We need to know what the recommendations and analysis of the
internal city departments/divisions are too. The more transparent the council is, and the more
the council can genuinely engage the community, the better it will be for all stakeholders--less
lawsuits, easier re-election, and most of all happier city residents. Thank you.
