Comments for City restricts access to public records at http://pressbanner.com , comment 1 to 3 out of 3 comments http://pressbanner.com Sat, 22 Nov 2008 12:37:53 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://pressbanner.com/content/view/1084/41/#comment-727 The document which was delivered as a PDF, had information showing it was from a Word Document. Paul asked for the original and should receive the original- of which he has not. The report was created by "nhervol" on 4/4/08 - as the document cover states , but it also says it was modified 4/8/08 at 4:05 pm. So even with this document there are 2 versions. Only one provided. Now the City Atty said in a Mercury News interview that this Draft document was taken from a previous SEIR, and back three generations. Paul should be provided all of these documents so the citizens can see the changes, and what the real deal is. So Sorry, the liability you created for yourself cannot be solved by creating other liabilities.People are watching and looking and tracking every detail of this process. The think is that generally, you don;t let a lwyer do the work of a Buisness man or woman, you bring them in after the deal. She may be a walking encyclopedia concerning the Law. but as a Strategist she has proven to weak. This is something ScottsVAlley doesn;t need. Mr Bustichi,you have more sense than the counsel you have been getting, I 'd work on letter her do the things she is good at, reading and interpreting legal documents. Allowing her to be the public mouth piece will never provide the solid solution the Counsel is looking for. For that you need to peruse a strategy of transparency , and I will suggest wahy. It's simple..no one is as smart as all of us. The creative genius is what sets leaders apart from administrators. Attys are trained to have an adversarial relationship, they are supposed to doggedly defend their client, the city in your case. This is a recipe for disaster, as you see unfolding with Paul. The lack of imagination pared with having a legal administrator do the work you need have done is not using their strengths. This is not private business, it operates differently and the more open the better..even it it blows your timetable out of the water. I can imagine you might have made indications this way or that and might have a little egg on your face, but in the face of new facts a good leader applogises and changes course. I hope you do. Some proposals may drop - but so what - they will move on to the next deal like the rest of us.

This contradicted previous assertions by the City and the Mayor that the report had not been shared with proponents of Target. The City has now released the Draft report and it is available for viewing on the web page www.rldpac.org I want to thank everyone who assisted in forcing the City to release this information.

But I don't think these people are open to being shamed. Only court action will free up that report. - Terry Francke Mon, 14 Apr 2008 10:44:00 +0100
