Note: We apologize for the poor sound quality. There was an apparent technically issue related to the Juniper Room Mics.

Public Input was allowed that included comments for and against certain Applicants.

Applicant Jim Hussey was specifically targeted by former Ranch President Bill Burt regarding the Sundown Canyon Road Water Vault controversy and Mr. Hussey’s position on the CRR Water Company Board.

Burt highlighted potential conflict issues while preaching his understanding of conflicts.
