COS Land Swap
Jun 26, 2018
Good afternoon,
Sources tell me that Mr. Damioli of the
Broadmoor now admits behind the scenes that
the appraisal he submitted for the land swap
is no good.
At one meeting during the public comment
process the City vaguely referred to the
repairs needed on that land. I spoke in more
detail about those repairs that night. After
that night the City removed all mention of the
repairs from their presentations. I sent
email after email asking about the estimated
cost of the repairs, and the City refused to
answer.
Did the City learn during the public comment
process that the appraisal submitted by the
Broadmoor was invalid?
I also emailed all of my material to Save
Cheyenne, they appear to be defending the
appraisal submitted by the Broadmoor.
Does the Broadmoor want to reverse the land
swap, but Save Cheyenne and the City are
fighting them?
I asked the Mayor and City Council to tell me
what the Manitou Incline Task Force was told
about the long term stability of the Incline.
They had Kurt Schroeder of Parks and
Recreation answer. He lied to me. He told me
that the Task Force did not explore whether
the Incline would be sustainable over the long
term. I rejected that false claim and asked
that the Mayor or a member of the City Council
answer the question honestly. They simply
refuse.
The Incline remained stable for 85 years until
the rails were removed.
Was the Task Force told that because the rails
have been removed the ties will not remain in
place?
Last year the City completely rebuilt the
upper third of the Incline. We built an
unstable structure on federal lands. I do not
see how the Forest Service could legally give
the City a permit to do that. Sources say that
the Forest Service is now telling the City
that we have to close the Incline.
I sent an email to the City last week asking
questions related to the signs the City put up
discouraging the public from giving money to
panhandlers. I am still waiting for an answer
to these questions.
What percentage of the money being given to
panhandlers was being spent on food? Do some
panhandlers suffer from malnutrition? Were
these questions considered by the City before
the signs were put up?
Are some of our panhandlers now eating less
