The head of Soccer Northwest is shaking his head city council didn’t decide to get the indoor turf facility moving last night, instead waiting until July 22nd to finalize the decision.
Michael Veneziale tells us it seems the plan is ready to go forward, only to be sidelined.
“Them adding in the tennis facility with having little to no information on it, I think is poor. I think it muddied the entire situation. I think it would have been much better to move forward with it then go ahead with the geological testing.”
He adds we’re going to just keep going over the same issues.
“They have a plan, everything sounds good, and then we get to these meetings, and it seems like there’s a lot of… people are misinformed, and don’t have the correct information when they’re asking questions of council. I don’t understand why this continues to go in circles.”
The soccer northwest official is shaking his head at councillors who wanted the tennis courts, but balked at the price tag.
“It makes absolutely no sense how you support something to include it, and then all of a sudden turn around immediately the same session, saying we can’t spend that money, we don’t have it. And implore people to think about people that don’t have money, and yet, minutes ago you approve a $9-million project.”
Veneziale adds the Mayor had the table set last night with information councillors could support to move this forward, but that didn’t happen.
