But how to get there? Well, someone needs to write a good resolution. The resolution as written is inflammatory and is one that puts people on opposite sides of a fence. You could— it could have been written in with a different tone that would have allowed both parties to work cooperatively to seek a common resolution, and that would be the frame that I would like to see the city's resolution cast in. And then also like you say, more narrowly focused on the areas of interest and with our entire rural resident population in mind.
