None have yet to be forthcoming. These are: what sites were considered? What is the actual cost comparison of each site? Due to noted traffic concerns at the intersection at WBR and Charlotte have traffic studies been done? We are asking questions. NONE has been answered. Mr.Riebeling has made the decision and announced at the meeting that the Frensley site is "where it would be" and "it would come in at budget" How does he have any idea about that? No site drawings have been done, no detailed drawings have been done. It is a sad day for this city when merely asking basic questions about taxpayers monies and how they are being spent reveals that appointed members of this administration not only cannot answer the questions but cover that fact with their anger and bluster.understandably concernednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-27680542962481070942009-11-23T18:54:27.552-06:002009-11-23T18:54:27.552-06:00So it didn't bother you, Anonymous #1, when ou...So it didn't bother you, Anonymous #1, when our Chief of Police, Ronal Serpas, charged out of his seat up to the microphone, with a room full of witnesses, came within a couple of inches of chest-bumping CM Mitchell in response to a perfectly valid point CM Mitchell made about a constituent's concern regarding slow response time. Did it not bother you that the Chief of Police, with a gun on his hip, showed such poor anger control?<br />-TinaTina Bennettnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-45364775817375992422009-11-23T12:46:45.297-06:002009-11-23T12:46:45.297-06:00A small number of council members are hell-bent on...A small number of council members are hell-bent on (a) opposing and insulting Reibling at every chance they get; and (b) supporting a site that is no longer available, that would have cost more, that was less well suited than the current site, but that is closer to their districts. In furtherance of their interests, they have vigorously floated a bunch of misinformation and innuendos about the site that an overwhelming majority (34-5) of the Council approved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-49517532670683355132009-11-23T08:21:35.870-06:002009-11-23T08:21:35.870-06:00Having attended the second of the meetings on this...Having attended the second of the meetings on this topic, I can report that Chief Serpas' point was only that the police desperately need a new precinct, and that he had no thoughts on where it should be, reasoning that the response time of 9 minutes by police to any incident in Davidson County was due to the fact that very few police respond from the precinct buildings. He made a valid point which was largely ignored by Bo Mitchell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
