In the nearly five years I have been a board member we have accomplished nothing! With constant changes in direction and general lack of support we were still at ground zero last time I looked. Further any suggestions I made were ignored and it is clear that my interests were not of interest to the rest of the board, the P &R staff or the City Council. I have wasted enough time. I hope you and the board have better luck in the future.
