As I stated in our conversation, I did have to <br />occasion to talk to Tom Lee regarding the road expansion project and the easement issues as it concerns <br />my property. My initial contact was via email June 9th to which Tom responded in person the next <br />afternoon. This is a brief outline of that conversation. <br /> <br />Tom assured me that my fence and tree would not be an issue since they posed no problem to road <br />maintenance and if! received a letter from the city, (off the record) to throw it away. Unfortunately, the <br />conversation did not end there. <br /> <br />Mr. Lee asked me what I thought of the road expansion project, to which I answered it was too large of an <br />undertaking considering the current economy. The conversation became quite heated as he tried to <br />convince me the work must be done now to save the city from the estimated future increase of 150% <br />within the next five years. He also stated that only eight residents were actually against the project. When <br />I asked about the last council meeting which was packed with residents in opposition, he stated that, "that <br />was never going to happen again". This statement did concern me as a resident of Centerville, I do not <br />want our elected council members making decisions that raise our taxes in secret without our input. <br /> <br />The conversation turned to the petition when Tom told me that some of the council members had taken it <br />upon themselves to call local residents about the petition. Tom stated that it was discovered that <br />approximately two hundred people did not sign it, although their names were listed. He clearly indicated <br />that it was fraudulent. Since I had not been called, I informed him that my husband and I had both signed <br />the petition so they need not bother following up with us. <br /> <br />The conversation continued to deteriorate after this as it turned to forcing residents to hook up to <br />sewer/water. Our visiting friends decided to leave, my husband apologized to them for the interruption <br />and Tom left. He did follow up via email that evening only regarding my easement issues. <br /> <br />I am sorry to hear that your work has been so disregarded by the city council. Maybe we should take a <br />look at who is up for reelection this November and vote them out of office. This disgraceful behavior <br />should not be overlooked. <br /> <br />Best Regards, <br /> <br />Julie Rieman <br /> <br />I --- Original Message ----- <br /> <br />10f2 <br /> <br />8/13/20082:16 PM <br />
