Mr Girbach,
Thank you loyal service to to community.
Your a total gentleman, someday I'll have an opportunity to meet you and shake your hand.
Let me take my "filter off" for a moment.
Thats the city I moved into thirty five no woke years ago! Thank you sir for your service, I'm against DEFUNDING the police.
Interesting you should comment this nonsense because the city and our Police Dept have focused on safety for everyone in our community by encouraging efforts and training in understanding differences neurodivergence, culture, gender and the like. What some may call diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI.
Interesting that Council at times had no problem removing funding from the Rec Center part way through the year but a reassignment of expenses is troubling? Fair questions but to imply something nefarious is quite inappropriate. Worked adjacent to finance in a Fortune 500 company.
“Girbach was part of the team that participated in that analysis and certainly would have been exposed to those numbers.”
If you've followed council 10 years or more, you know that several members of council have had issues with the way the Rec Center is presented at budget time.
