Esslinger, McHugh Resolution to Rescind

Kent Monte's blog today has a copy of a resolution sponsored by Paul Esslinger and Dennis McHugh to rescind the Five Rivers Term Sheet. If passed on June 27th, the resolution will put an end to the Five Rivers Project. Perhaps, if City Manager Dick Wollangk and Director of Community Development Jackson Kinney have it within them to do the right thing, they will sever the relationship with Five Rivers before the June 27th meeting and thus make the resolution irrelevant. Developer Doig wants a response to his letter when he returns on June 22. Kinney and Wollangk should simply:

*Tell Doig that they were very disappointed that he would present the city with an ultimatum and consider such boorish behavior to be a dealbreaker.
*Tell Doig that at this point in the process there is NO WAY the conditions outlined in the letter can be met.
*Tell Doig to Don't Worry, Be Happy, and Have Nice Day. (Notice Bobby McFerrin in the video holding up a newspaper that says "financial meltdown").

UPDATE!!

The City Manager issued a memo this afternoon with the results of the 'Due Diligence' by the staff. It isn't looking good for Five Rivers in Oshkosh.
