Committee Chair Mark Samuelian brought the issue to the entire Commission at its final meeting in October. “The situation I would describe as pretty urgent. Our project is frozen” in an unfinished state, Samuelian said. “In my two years on the dais, this is probably one of the most concerning situations I’ve become aware of.”

“Like we had in Indian Creek, we now have unpermitted work and we are in violation,” he added. “This action needs to stop. Our project was stopped by DERM on July 9 and our residents are now suffering.”

Samuelian agreed. “When we brought in the Inspector General, it was to address waste and inefficiency. I think this is a classic example.”

He said he would continue to keep the item on the Commission agenda for discussion for the time being. “We need to act with urgency. We need to get this darned thing done.”
