Randi Osberg City Quotations

We knew at some point the city would grow to0 big and we would have to move the plant, but we thought we had more time. Now, we might have less than five years.

There were conversations going back and forth between the city and the county dating back to the early or mid- 1970s.

How can you do that without having the dam thoroughly inspected by engineering staff, without having a thorough analysis and education of the staff on what all the rules and regulations are?. It is certainly a responsibility the city should not bear, or bear alone.

The city does not usually annex property. In fact, I can't remember a time since I have been with the city that we have taken this step.

The city can't tax those people outside of their jurisdiction. They can't assess them in a way to recover those costs. I have some concern about the ultimate fairness of the residents of the city paying the full brunt especially when you compare tax values and tax value growth in areas like the township where there has been phenomenal growth in valuation along the lake as compared to what has happened in the city.
