All those glowing reports in the paper and during council meetings on how well everyone was talking together now, all tensions gone and the planning was 'going great!'?
Will these architects work for free as they go back and redo the entire plan? How are we going to pay for this?
Anyone who is in construction (BTW, Councilman Gamba...where have you been to let it get this far and be totally wrong? You know better.) knows you can't put this many people together without somebody checking constantly for who's on first and what's on second.
Looks like it should fit at The Meadows? Maybe that's a Freudian slip on the architects part because they may have it down in observation that all this fuss over the 'Eighth and Cooper Project' really wasn't 'going great!' after all.
Sorry, everybody but this one is way too hard to swallow.

Seriously, how could these plans get to near final conceptuals and be so far off the mark?
Leahy? Gamba? Anybody?
Let's see.
The Sea World plans that got this far too cost us what? $200,000? Or was it only $100,000? No matter. We've got money to burn in the City of Glenwood Springs.
Estimate the cost of this one to be at least $50,00+ more than Sea World because it is what it is. Complicated.
Gamba and Leahy know how much it's going to take to redo. Start all over again.
So, end result on the bottom line is going to be what? $400,000?
Anybody?
Humphries and Pember are no rookies and they're not schlocks.
They would never get this far without the input of clients.
Somebody has to be accountable for the fact that city council didn't do that connect.
To let council get away with what they always get away with in smoothing over after the fact is wrong in this case.
Why should the library and county have to pay for this when it's obviously the city that caused the problem.
Must have been all that back-peddling trying to save having the library at all after council wasted resources and dropped the ball on the relationship for what was it? Two years?
Gamba?
Anybody?
