Subject: Public Records include Landowner and City communications, Re:
Cumberland Farms / Cabo Verde PRR
Mia,
Thanks for starting the process to populate the public records with city
and landowner communications in the section for the Cumberland Farms
project. From the transparency this provided I was able to learn one of
Mr. Baugher concerns, so am able to adapt my approach to the
archaeological survey. He sent an email stating he did not think public
funds should be used for this purpose, so I am now in addition to grant
possibilities am exploring crowd-funding an archaeological survey. There
are a number of web services such as Kickstarter that facilitate the
collection of funds from like-minded people for small projects such as
this. This tool may also enable us explore another item that Mr. Baugher
discussed; the possibility of donating land to the city to use as a city
park.
I look forward to the continue buildup of the public records for this
section and hearing back on the inquiries I made in my previous email.

Dear City Clerk, David Dickey et al.
I want to recap my conversation this past Monday September 29th, 2014
with David Dickey the city planner.
I stopped by briefly and reiterated to the city planner my willingness
to communicate to the land owner or new potential land owner that it is
not my intention to use the archaeological resources of this area to
stop their development. Others and I would like to see if the developer
would give us a period of 2-3 months to do a proper survey of this
significant archaeology site in our area. This would give us time to
gather some knowledge of an ancient culture of people that lived here
2000 years ago, collect artifacts and properly remove any archaeological
impediments to future development.
At the last city meeting when I spoke, the council voted that I could
move forward with making plans for an archaeological survey which
included and most importantly; obtaining permission from the land
owners. It looks unlikely that the current owner will give us permission
based on earlier conversations. My hope is with the new potential
landowner and I asked the city planner again if he would see what he
could find our if that would be agreeable with them. It was from my
understanding that he would. Is there any objection from the city on
this? I certainly want to see the best interests of the city served and
I believe they are.
I also mentioned to the city planner that it would be helpful to have a
copy of the contract between the buyer and seller of this lot of land.
Can a copy be requested for the city's records?
I look forward to reading the subject communications in the public
records soon. This will help us all make informed decisions and avoid
misunderstandings due to misinformation. But I request that it be made
available before the next P&Z meeting if the subject development is on
their agenda next week.
