CHOICES
When over half the membership has yet to choose, twenty-one percent showing a thumbs down, and fifteen percent wanting to do it at a limited amount, one wonders why the mere ten percent wanting full dredging appears to be at the top of the list.
Full Dredging Overview
The first thing that CRA’s proposal expresses is their lone objective of returning the Village’s canal system to their original depth.
Our Board has indicated the tens of thousands will not be wasted when the pre-dredge survey is done on our Village canals, Cowen's canal, and other waters not owned by our Village .
The Board has given themselves the ability to make assessments impossible to say no to by packaging dredging costs in with other infrastructure and major improvement projects.
In a nutshell, one needs to realize that CRA’s pre-dredge survey is nothing more than a very influential vehicle which guides and motivates clients into using the next array of CRA services like offered in the Village proposal.
Rest assure that CRA will soft sell the results of their pre-dredge survey in receipt of a full dredging commitment and after witnessing the Board’s total surrender to Director Bergsma’s pro-dredging agenda and his recent unprincipled actions, it is difficult for one to believe that anything but a full dredging portfolio is on the table.

You are absolutely right, Joey. We might be more receptive of a dredging survey & limited dredging if we were not having CRA forced down our throats. There are lots of survey companies out there... Where are our "3 sealed bids"? We are talking major money here...... Where are our "3 sealed bids"? Our BOD has not even considered any other companies. Why in the world not? Where are our "3 sealed bids"? Obviously there is more to this then they are telling us. Who stands to profit from this fiasco?
So does this mean that we are not going to vote on this at the Annual Meeting? Is this decision a done deal already?
It probably will be a done deal after the Wed. meeting unless we, the villagers, show up and let them know exactly how we feel. Spending that much of our money without giving us the benefit of at least 3 sealed bids. It reeks! How do they, the BOD, know if we're getting the best bang for our bucks if CRA is the only company to bid!
If you want this board to act .Threaten them .It works every time.
stop egging!
