- Would you support the transfer or sale of an asset, specifically the water plant, to Choctaw Utilities or to any other individual?
- How do you envision the relationship between the CU board and the CLPOA board going forward?
- This fall, insinuations were publicly made regarding the CU office manager. Her pay rate and work quality were denigrated on social media. Do you think it is acceptable to treat employees of the lake or utility in such a manner?
- This summer, regarding the resolution that was brought forward directing CU to fire their office manager, a committee member stated the resolution was rushed, not vetted, ill conceived, and said to take the desired action, more work was required to ensure a smooth transition. If a committee member raises these types of issues, what you be your response?
- What is your position on the CLBOT with regard to transparent decision making and communicating the decision-making process to the community?
- What is your position on the CLBOT assuming more responsibility for the operations of the utility plant?
- What is your position on reducing the number of Choctaw Utility board members and why?
- What is your position on allowing property owner votes to be done by absentee ballot if unable to attend property owner meeting?
- What is your position on live streaming the CLBOT meetings?
- Would you consider a more equitable process at property owner meetings for allowing property owners the chance to speak rather than the current process of whoever shouts the loudest or whoever is known to be aligned with the person controlling the microphone gets the opportunity to speak while others who politely raise their hands waiting for a turn often get ignored?
- What is your position on one CLBOT member having a conversation with retained counsel regarding a controversial issue with no other board members present, and then communicating the advice or recommendation of that attorney to other board members to be accepted without any corroborating evidence, either in writing or via witness to the entire conversation by a board member who is unbiased or who holds an adverse opinion from that initial board member on the issue being discussed? (to assure both sides of issue is presented without spin and then what that attorney opinion actually is)
- What commitment do you make to property owners that you will make all CLBOT decisions based on what is for the good of the community and not make decisions based on outside influence(s) and/or threats, nor based on a personal agenda or personal benefit.
