PUBLIC FORUM
Kim Churchill, 16209 Evanston Pl, provided an update on the local advisory council for Mental
Health. Intensive Residential Treatment Services is having a Grand Opening ribbon cutting event
on September 29th at 1:00 p.m.
Pat and Jeanne Brewer, 6127 170th St E, commented that they have mixed feelings for the denial
of annexation and how it played out. First, they were disappointed that their efforts to realize a life-
long dream had been dashed and the backwards steps it has taken with decreased property val-
ues and the realization that their property will no longer have resale value as a horse property.
Second, they were discouraged that people were quick to accuse and throw false allegations
against other people based on information that was received second hand rather than taking the
time to get the facts. It was equally unsettling that there was little interest or support for them dur-
ing the Whitney annexation. The Brewers applauded the City Council for listening to the commu-
nity. It was a breath of fresh air to see a government body truly listen and serve the people. While
their dreams have taken a step back, they are ok with the decision and will make the best of it
while they remain on the property. Greater than their financial loss was the sadness over tar-
nished reputations that have come out of this because of false rumors and allegations. The Brew-
ers state that the were 100% on board with the application for annexation. M.P. Holdings and
Maderno were more than fair and transparent with them throughout the process and they would
not hesitate to do business with them in the future or to recommend them.
