On July 9, 2013, Attorney Susan Buxton’s lawfirm (Moore, Smith, Buxton & Turk Chartered (MSB&T) was granted an
“ACKNOWLEDGMENT,CONSENT AND WAIVER OF CONFLICT OF INTEREST”
A potential problem is, this document only includes the City of Eagle and the developer Mr. Neptune.
Ada County should have been a signatory to this consent agreement as they retain ownership of the land.
It is a historical fact that MSB&T also has a number of ongoing legal representation/fiduciary responsibility ties to the Ada County Commissioners. Most recently as the “bond” attorney for the Ada Commissioners for LID #1101. FYI: LID 1101 built the EWC pumping station for Ada County which is located on the south end of the snow park property in question.
This pump was NOT meant to supply 19 million gallons of water to a terrain park. The bill (655K)for this pump etc. has been sent to 53 landowners immediately adjacent to the snow park/county property.
The common denominator for all of these seemingly unrelated projects is water, all of which must be supplied by Eagle Water Company.
What a windfall for EWC!
Sounds like the City of Eagle should have purchased EWC twenty years ago when then Eagle City Councilman Rick Yzaguirre was advocating for such a purchase!

Until the Guardian or another entity gets their hands on the actual contract and posts it up for us to review, this very well could be a matter of differing interpretations of the contract terms.

Garden City is the same way. All on the same page all of the time. And yet nobody is running against the mayor and only one outside candidate for City Council.

Really, a water park rep named Neptune – honest? and they went through with it? In their place I would have cried whoa just on the face of it. I’m glad that the County Commishes stood up and have asked for greater accountability from the City, I hope this portends well for the future of ALL County and Cities’planning actions and developments. Kudos to our Ada county Commissioners.

This is not surprising. Once again, Eagle has a group of council people in place just like the good ol’ days. Thinking they are above it all, just like Nancy Merrill and her cronies. I hope the citizens of Eagle take a close look at who they vote for in the next election. I would not vote for the candidate endorsed by the rest of council. Just what the city needs; a group of people that all think exactly the same and vote likewise. Especially since the Council President owns the local news magazine – that’s convenient. To have made this decision on land that is not even owned by the city is ludicrous and possibly calculated; you know, “ask forgiveness later”, especially when they have garnered public support. I am glad the commissioners slammed them.
