This is the story of an IVGID employee’s sale of public land designated as open space to private buyers without Board approval or a public process and the subsequent denials of any wrongdoing by the General Manager and Legal Counsel.  Since the story has many facets and is still unfolding, we thought it best to report it in three parts.  Part I is a summary. Part II are the details.  Part III (yet to come) provides an analysis of the Denials along with our informed conclusions.  We hope you will share your insights, questions, and comments.     Part I  – … Continue reading →

Q) Why do we have an expensive recycle program? A) We have no comparisons to determine if the program is expensive or not. Recycling is partnered with Trash Service in your monthly fees.
