I hope that along with ensuring that city water reaches all the homes shortly that some learnings will be made. First, communications is essential and the city should assign someone to be a communications director....for example last night the Board of Finance who actually suggested the idea of the taskforce 4 weeks ago had no idea it had been formed! Second, protocol and process may need to be followed obviously to avoid pitfalls but the public has a right to know what that protocol and process is. Finally, no one on the city staff seems to have the experience to know the health risks nor the environmental risks associated with this tragedy and in the same manner no one has addressed the mental anquish this has caused.....did the city ever call the Red Cross to let them know that Dr. Lee had declared this a Public Health Emergency ....lots of steps were missed if this was a demonstration of Emergency Preparedness. Tom Moore Mr. Mayor,
