Dear Mr. Torlakson:
The purpose of this letter is to address the current proposal to build a Battered
Women's Alternative Shelter in the community of Clyde. In response to a recent
newspaper article announcing a fund raiser for this project, we have contacted
Lisa Dobey of Battered Women's Alternative regarding this project. We are
informed that the Battered Women's Alternative currently has an option to buy
approximately one (1) acre of land in Clyde. Ms. Dobey indicates that this option
is good through December and that this issue is currently pending action by the
Board.
In this discussion, Ms. Dobeyfurther indicated that in June orJuly of this year, she
contacted Mrs. Dee Kilcoyne regarding addressing Clyde community concerns on
this issue. She states that Mrs. Kilcoyne arranged for her to address a meeting of
the Clyde Civic Improvement Association to address such concerns, however Mrs.
Kilcoyne did not inform the community about this presentation. She further states
that, based on the small number of people attending (eight) the regularly
scheduled July CCIA meeting, at which she made her presentation, she asked Mrs.
Kilcoyne if a town meeting or further contact with the community was necessary.
She indicates that Mrs. Kilcoyne stated that no other contact was necessary, that
no one else would be interested.
As a result of Mrs. Kilcoyne's handling of this matter, no town meeting was
scheduled, no information was distributed and no other attempt was made to
notify the community of this activity.
As past members and Directors of the Clyde Civic Improvement Association we
feel that it is imperative that the community be informed of and allowed to
address this issue. Ms. Dolby agrees that such a meeting is necessary to the
successful continued development of their project plans and has agreed to attend.
To this end, we (not in conjunction with Mrs. Kilcoyne or the Clyde Civic
Improvement Association) have arranged and announced a Town Meeting for
Thursday, November 11 , 1993, at 7:00pm, to be held at the Clyde Community
Center.
We are therefore respectfully requesting that the Board delay any action on this
matter until after this meeting, at which time we will forward to the Board the
community's responses and concerns regarding this issue.
Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
o df)a M . w
