•Many residents are opposed to the project and feel the city should fight or delay it through lawsuits, and not agree to anything.
•Residents feel trust in the city has been lost because there was not sufficient public notice about the Aug. 31 meeting or Sept. 6 Council meeting and people felt the City abruptly changed policy direction with its letter of intent to BSRE and they felt blindsided.
