Developers are Crabgrass : YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. Chop Kurt? Give his job to Nelson? Who besides Bob Ramsey and the man in his shaving mirror had a say in this hummer hitting an agenda?

Kurt Ulrich is competent. Nelson in my view is too close to Landform day-to-day to be fully objective, were she to be given Kurt's job. If either of the two has to be let go by the city for any reason, in my view it would best be Nelson. Yet, next Tuesday's Council Work Session, at this link, has this text:

Title:

Discuss Mayor's Recommendations of Desirable Changes and Improvements Pursuant to City Charter 2.6.2

Background:

The City's Charter, Chapter 2, Section 2.6.2 states the following: "Consistent with the responsibility to accept considerable leadership over the general conduct of city affairs, the mayor shall study the operations of the city government and recommend desirable changes and improvements to the council." Pursuant to the Charter, Mayor Ramsey will be bringing the following recommendations forward:

Eliminate the Deputy City Administrator Position.
Terminate the contract with the current City Administrator or accept his resignation.
Appoint the current Deputy City Administrator as City Administrator with a six month probationary period.

[highlighting emphasis added] It certainly seems to me the mayor has been sucking too many on-the-job North Dakota wild-cat oil rig fumes.

Try this question out: What role, if any, did Landform people play in formulating this proposition? If not Landform, who did the mayor consult before reaching a decision to make the proposal? Then there is this:

Do you miss me yet?

_________________________
Lest anyone accuse me of having no evidence to suggest Nelson appears to be less than fully objective regarding Landform, her handling of "explanations" of the Cronk dual agency situation is my evidence. Within the two page response Nelson authored after the anonymous "CORruption" letter gained press attention she was failing to really see (or if seen, failing to fully and without obfuscation acknowledge) what was obvious to anyone with an internet connection, that Cronk was in a straddle as a dual agent, with primary ties and a long-term loyalty to Flaherty and Collins, and holding himself out that way.
