The meeting today at the county was pretty uneventful in regards to the Polk City issue, number 19 on the agenda. County Attorney Michael Craig read the proposal for the resolution about the Florida Governmental Conflict Resolution Act. Details of this resolution can be found in this previous post: Next Step in Mt. Olive Utility System Takeback to be Discussed at County Meeting
There was no discussion amongst the board members on the topic before the vote. There was no opportunity for public discussion. The motion passed with a unanimous vote of 5-0.
So now they will go into private talks and we will have no voice. We need to keep emailing the county on our views. So they don't cave into the city. We can not afford for Polk City to keep the water and sewer plant.
ReplyDeleteCOUNTY RESIDENTS ITS YOUR TURN TO STEP IT UP. YOU NEED TO CONTACT YOUR COMMISSIONERS OLD ONES AND NEW ONES. REMIND THEM OF WHAT POLK CITY IS DOING TO YOU WITH THE UTILITIES. SCAN AND E-MAIL YOUR WATER BILL, YOUR WATER/SEWER AND WAC AND SAC BILLS. SHOW THEM WHAT IS HAPPENING TO YOU AND HOW POLK CITY HAS RAISED YOUR WATER 62% IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. REMIND THEM THAT EVEN THOUGH YOU PAY THE HIGHEST WATER BILLS YOU CAN'T HAVE A VOTE OR A VOICE IN THE CITY MEETINGS OR ELECTIONS . ALL THEY WANT IS COUNTY RESIDENTS MONEY. WRITE TO YOUR COMMISSIONERS AND DEMAND THAT THEY STAND UP FOR YOU. SPREAD THE WORD TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBOR AND TELL THEM TO DO THE SAME. THERE SHOULD BE NO NEGOTIATION WITH POLK CITY. POLK CITY HAS TREATED THEIR RESIDENTS AND THE COUNTY RESIDENTS WITH NO RESPECT. WE ARE TAX PAYERS AND ALL OUR VOICES SHOULD BE HEARD.

AFTER LIVING HER FOR 65 YEARS i'M LEAVING !!!!
The County Commission is doing all that they can and thank God for them but they are dealing with morons in Polk City and it has been that way for the past 40 years I have lived just outside that stinking city. How many times has anyone ever come to you when you have made a bad purchase and said "hey we'll help you out and take the purchase back". Trudy and Joe and the rest of the clowns on the commission are just to stupid to realize the gift the county has offered them by taking back a bad purchase by the city.
