McALLEN - high noon Thursday will bring two clashes from 23 street-based Salvation Army: one for the Auditorium civic centre, another project Boeye reservoir.
Discussions should be short, not more than 20 minutes, with time for questions from the audience.
Organized by the League of citizens of McAllen, fresh lunch $12 for non-members and $10 for members, said Christopher Julian, President of the League.
Controversy over the future of the auditorium began in late October, after the town leaders suggest that McAllen may sell property auditorium before the opening of a theatre of replacement. Persons connected to the local performing arts groups warned a disturbance would be detrimental to their business and could compel Broadway shows to leave McAllen.
Disagreement over Boeye reservoir project comes from a long time between McAllen and Hidalgo County Water Improvement District 3 dispute.
Othal marks, Jr., Executive Director of the district water, raised questions about the project to the end of September. He wondered why public utility wanted to build an expensive pipeline reservoir again at its southwestern water treatment plant. The city officials and usefulness can defend the pipeline, touting its technical superiority and warning the district water could not be trusted to McAllen water supply.
Roy Rodriguez, Director General of the public amenity value of McAllen, discuss the pipeline 10 minutes Thursday. Mark said that he would be meeting and had a few questions.
Mayor Richard Cortez and Brent Bishop, a local lawyer will receive each five minutes to discuss the Auditorium before answering the questions.
THEATRE THOUGHTS
Cortez took a nuanced position on auditorium, saying that he would prefer not to sell the property, situated on South 10th Street and Highway 83 13 hectares. But if a retailer young presented an ultimatum - either sell property, McAllen is that we will build our shop elsewhere - Cortez said that it would be difficult to reduce the sales tax revenues that could total $ 2.5 million each year.
"In a world perfect, we want that there without interruption to anyone," Cortez said Tuesday. "But if we do not have a perfect world, we need to have a plan."
Commissioners of the city generally echoed his views and approved the hiring of a consultant Theatre at their last meeting. Connecticut-based team will advise McAllen on the construction of a new room and explore alternatives for the event performing arts must be sold the property before a replacement is ready.
Meeting of November 22, where the commission hired consultant, Bishop presented the Commissioners a petition. Signed by approximately 780 people, the petition urging Commissioners did not sell the property before a replacement Theatre opened.
Melba Huber, owner of Melba at 10th Street and a dance school which help book Broadway shows auditorium, Chicago-based businessman told even the temporary absence of theatre could devastate the McAllen performing arts.
BOEYE BRAWL
Rodriguez said that it intends to explain the reservoir project and answer questions. At this stage, although the utility does not consider alternatives and has already begun laying pipes.
McAllen and district water did not see eye - to-eye for decades. The city once tried to support water district and two government entities trade consistently scandal allegations and incompetence.
Despite their differences, McAllen dry without district water and district water bending without payment of city water.
The poor, said Rodriguez, relationship makes it unwise for the utility water through pipes owned by district water.
"If you have a good relationship with the neighbour was cheaper so that you can get to your property by your neighbor property crossing water pipe, but that line valve inside, what would you do?" RODRIGUEZ said. "Now multiply that by 45,000 families."
Said mark provides guarantees in writing that the city's water supply would not be interrupted.
Only League members can ask questions meeting lunch, although anyone may approach the speakers before or after the discussion. Mark said The Monitor, he joined the League for the opportunity to ask a few questions after Rodriguez opening statement.
