Subject: Midas Community Agreement Decision Scheduling
Dear Council Members:
I understand that this evening (11/29/18) you will be deciding when to make the Community
Agreement proposed by Midas Gold an action item. I would encourage you not to rush into
this by scheduling it for your next regular (12/13/18) meeting. I'll refrain from reiterating my
previously stated reasons to be wary of this proposal (10/08/18 letter), other than to say that
the public meeting series that you prudently organized did little to allay my concerns and
rather broadened my skepticism. I know Midas is lobbying hard for a prompt decision and that
everyone involved would love to clear the matter off their desk before the Christmas season,
but there are so many unresolved issues (at least in my mind) at this time that I would suggest
a delay until after the holidays. Midas may object to this time frame, but they aren't going to
walk away from the table. It would be interesting to know how the Council members are
feeling about the proposal at this time. I'm just wondering what steps are being taken to
address any reservations you might have.
Best Regards,
John Rygh
