I'll post the relevant clips from today's Council meeting tomorrow, when they become available.

""From my heart of hearts...blah blah, blah" - DD at presentation of report findings 01/26 @JeromyYYC @kim_tyers @jenniferwyness @yuleloveyyc @djkelly @RajDhaliwal_YYC @John4ward6 @mykeatkinson @nate_for_8 @chabot4ward10 @RobWardCGY @MikeJamiesonYYC @DanWMcLean @Landonforward14

Which is why we need a technically qualified Water Utility Oversight Board to advise council, and why IMO Thompson's days should be numbered. The two Bearspaw failures cost taxpayers ~$125 million + and all that happened to Thompson was that he got a promotion from @duckworth17

I watched that and what it confirmed to me was that Thompson wasn't qualified to answer the Q (the widespread false assumption was that the failed pipes last 100 years - widely known as untrue in industry and you were unqualified to discern when you were getting played or mislead

You then followed up with questions of Thompson where he confirmed you met with him in private over your concerns over the health of the water system, and got him to acknowledge everything was fine, no concerns. This was supposed to be a rebuke to the Mayor, I assume.

@JenniferWyness in today's Committee meeting, after mayor @JeromyYYC asked about accountability of Acting COO Michael Thompson, PEng, Thompson provided a masterful but still a lengthy dodge of the question-claiming that this whole past year has been one of accountability.Bahaha

With the number of changes currently in Admin: *hiring of new CAO underway *recent retirement of Acting COO last Friday *Members of Water Utility Oversight Board announced *domino effect throughout org this will take some time to resolve Future tweaking of budgets expected

N.B. There was one Committee meeting where, in response to questions from other Councillors, at least 2 maybe 3 times he responded to them as "Councillor Keating" before correcting himself. It became a bit of a joke.

Does she have some sort of special connection with the Acting COO of Water that is at risk of being severely altered? Reminiscent of when as former GM of Transportation he charmed the Council head of the Green Line (before a GL Board was formed) Shane Keating. Not good.

Troubling. At the 11th hour. @JeromyYYC @kim_tyers @jenniferwyness @yuleloveyyc @djkelly @RajDhaliwal_YYC @John4ward6 @mykeatkinson @nate_for_8 @chabot4ward10 @RobWardCGY @MikeJamiesonYYC @DanWMcLean @Landonforward14

Compare with the extensive relevant experience of the WUOB members. newsroom.calgary.ca/council-…

I can't speak for the rest of the 1.6 million Calgarians,but Councillor @JenniferWyness plans to scrap the recently announced Water Utility Board does not instill confidence. What in her @cityofcalgary profile indicates any special knowledge in water resource management? Cuckoo
