In response to the “Resident concerned about Mammoth Council meeting” in last week’s article, the facts are as follows:
There is a Public Works report as well as an Accounts Payable report with a full financial report provided every month to the Council, which is also available to the public upon request.
As far as the Meat Market, the Town (Public Works) has completed the work. All material information is submitted to the Town Council to be approved through Accounts Payable every month. The meat market will be very beneficial as well as convenient to Senior Citizens and the General public by providing meat, vegetables and fruit for those who have no vehicle to travel out of Town.
There was no $300,000 Grant lost, the on-going Grant for the Reverse Osmosis is still being utilities to rebuild water holding tank #2. New sources of Grants are being reviewed by CAAG and an Engineering Firm.
As far as retaining information from the old computers that were deleted: the computers were in fact already sent to professional forensics – “Computers Renaissance in Tucson, AZ.”
Mr. Jones should seek correct information from the Town Manager and find the real facts before assuming and writing it to the Miner. He has made a lot of assumptions that are untrue; it is obvious the Town is progressing positively and will continue to.
As for Mr. Jones coming from out of State and criticizing our Town, he should be a more responsible citizen himself and should have changed his license plate after 30 days of residing in Mammoth. He has been in Mammoth for over two years, now. A good citizen should have taken care of this small personal matter before criticizing our Town.
Respectfully,
/s/Alvaro Barcelo
Mayor, Town of Mammoth
