Petition
Holyoke Citizens for Open Government
and concerned residents demand that
the Board of Public Works:
1) Extend the deadline for public comment on the proposed contract with Aquarion Water Services (to run the city’s wastewater treatment plant) until six weeks after the full final contract has been made available for review to all city councilors and citizens;
2) Make available copies of the full final contract for citizens to review at City
Hall, the Holyoke Public Library, and in a computer file on the city’s homepage.
3) Mail postcards to all ratepayers informing them when, where and how the contract is available for review and informing them of the new deadline for public comment. We request that the deadline be set six weeks from the date this mailing
is sent out.
4) Set a date for an open hearing for public comment and questions midway through the six-week period. Include the date of this public hearing in the postcard
sent to ratepayers.
