AIRPORT PROJECT AND
TIMELINE

WENDY DEW
30109 SPYGLASS CIRCLE
GEORGETOWN TX 78628
I SPOKE AT THE TTC
MEETING WITH OTHER ACC MEMBERS WHEN JIM BRIGGS AND DIRECTOR FULTON FROM TxDOT
SPOKE TO GET THE 10 MILLION GRANT.
JIM BRIGGS WAS
ASKED IF THERE HAD BEEN ANY PUBLIC MEETINGS ON THIS ISSUE AND HE MISS REPRESENTED
HIMSELF TO THE TTC AND SAID:
"YES THE CITY
HAS NOT ONLY MET BUT EXCEEDED THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL
REVIEW AND THAT THREE DIFFERENT PUBLIC PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENTS WERE HELD.
AND THAT THE ENTIRE
PROJECT IS DESIGNED FOR TRAFFIC CURRENTLY USING THE AIRPORT.
THERE HAD ONLY BEEN
ONE MEETING AND THAT WAS ONLY ON THE FUEL FARM, NOT THE WHOLE 25 COMPONENT PLAN.
QUESTION IS WHY
WOULD THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE THE FUEL TANKS BY 60% IF IT "WAS" FOR EXISTING TRAFFIC?
THEN MR FULTON GOT UP AND SPOKE AND THE TTC MEMBER STATED THAT: "IT STATES HERE THAT THIS IS A PASS
THROUGH GRANT, IT HAS FOR PAVEMENT ELECTRICAL
IMPROVEMENTS AND TO PREPARE AN UPDATE TO THE MASTER PLAN. IS THIS FOR EXPANSION??
DIRECTOR FULTON MISS REPRESENTED HIMSELF AND SAYS: NOT IN ANY WAY
NOWHERE IN WHAT WAS GIVEN THE TTC BOARD
WAS THERE ANY MENTION OF THE FUEL FARM DO
YOU KNOW WHY?? BECAUSE THAT IS HOW YOU
ILLEGALLY GET AROUND ENVIRONMENTAL
STUDIES.
THEY DO WHAT IS CALLED SEGMENTING WHERE
THEY TAKE ONE ASPECT OF THE PLAN AND PUT IT
BY ITS SELF AND AS A SINGLE ISSUE IT DOESN'T
SEEM TO BE AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM
ESPECIALLY
WHEN THEY PRETEND THAT THEY ARE
DOING THIS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT,
THE INTERESTING TRUTH ABOUT THIS WHOLE
MESS IS THAT G.R.W WILLIS THE ENGINEER THAT
DESIGNED
THIS MASTER PLAN CLEARLY STATES IN
HIS PLAN THAT THE THE EXISTING CAPACITY OF
THE FUEL FARM IS ADEQUATE FOR THE PLANNING
PERIOD.
NOT ONLY DOES THE CITY AVOID TALKING ABOUT
THE FACT THAT THEY ARE EXPANDING THE TANKS,
THEY PUT OUT THIS LITTLE SING SONG ABOUT WHY
THEY ARE EXPANDING THE TANKS IS TO SAVE ON
DELIVERY.
I CALLED AVEFUEL AND ASKED THEM HOW MUCH
GTU WOULD SAVE ON DELIVERY BY EXPANDING
THE TANKS AND SHE SAID NOTHING, IT WOULD
INCREASE DELIVERY COSTS BECAUSE THE
TRUCKS THEY HAVE NOW DO NOT FILL EXISTING
TANKS.
SO THAT IS A COMPLETE FALSEHOOD FROM OUR
ELECTED OFFICIALS! I
ALSO THEY HAVE THIS BIG RUSH TO DO THIS BECAUSE MR. POLASIC SAID THE TANKS ARE LEAKING, I EMAILED MR VOLK AND ASKED HIM FOR THE
INSPECTION REPORT THAT INDICATES LEAKAGE,
AND HE SAID THERE HAS BEEN NO INSPECTION AND TO HIS. KNOWLEDGE
THEY DONT LEAK.
SO WHY ARE WE DOING THIS!!!!
OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE ALLOWING THIS COMMUNITY TO BE IRREVERSIBLY COMPROMISED BY:
ACQUIRING THIS GRANT BASED ON INTENTIONAL FALSEHOODS
ABOUT THE CITYS INTENTIONS AT THE AIRPORT.
NOT GETTING PROPER ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
NOT USING PROFESSIONAL FEASIBILITY STUDIES
INTENTIONAL FALSEHOOD ABOUT NEEDING TO
REPLACE FUEL FARM
INTENTIONAL FALSEHOOD ABOUT BEING ABLE TO
SAVE ON DELIVERY COSTS.
INTENTIONAL FALSEHOOD ABOUT NOT ACQUIRING
ADDITIONAL LAND
INTENTIONAL FALSEHOOD ABOUT THE 60 %
EXPANSION OF FUEL TANKS
INTENTIONAL FALSEHOOD ABOUT CONDITION OF
THE RUNWAYS
AND NOT GETTING ADEQUATE PUBLIC INPUT
BEFORE THEY DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
NOT ONLY ARE THERE 25 SIGNIFICANT PROJECT ELEMENTS PERTAINING TO AIRPORT EXPANSION THAT NO ONE EVER HEARS ABOUT, THERE ARE 101 CONTRACTS PENDING 101, ALSO THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF TREES REMOVED RECENTLY ALONG LAKEWAY DRIVE. AND LOTS OF PROPERTY WAS JUST ACQUIRED UNDER THREAT OF CONDEMNATION, AND YOU THINK THIS IS ABOUT THE FUEL FARM.
I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE FUTURE OF THIS COMMUNITY AND SO SHOULD YOU BE."
The city government seems to be ignoring these concerns by refusing to enter into any meaningful dialog with these citizens. The city just stonewalls and refuses to answer the obvious questions posed in the above presentation.
Isn't it time for the city to engage these citizens and address their concerns?
