How can you serve as commissioners without using common sense in your decision making with well prepared plans, that have been approved by the local citizens. For example: the Project Housing Taskforce to be located at 1172 Cape George Rd. (horse park property) to become a homeless park by June 30, 2021. 22 days to relocate 50 plus people. 1) the property has no infrastructure at all. 2) This is 7 miles from town, stores and any services. 3) There is no waste management, no septic systems. 4) There is no bus service to this area. 5) This is a rural farming area, not a metro area. 6) There is not a street light, fence or any security in any way. 7) There is only dirt and trees and wonderful trails leading to private residences. 8) It is a 50mph zone. Not safe to enter or leave the entrance, and definitely not safe for pedestrian traffic. 9) There is no power, sewer or water This makes you look naive to your citizens. A lawsuit comes with actions and behaviors like this. The point is you need to do your homework before you come up with an idea like this. The proper way is to communicate with the people of your community with public hearings, notices in the local media, public meetings and a committee processing this type of decision. Please locate the homeless encampment in the city where there is proper services and security etc. Sincerely John and Andrea Gieser 300 Loftus Rd. 360-385-3287 ajgieser@gmail.com
