    In support of #1 to affirm the resolution as voted on and approved by the residents of Golden Valley after much work and conversation about the options. I realize two commissioners voted against this originally and feel that this is political and an attempt to shut down our wells and is not in the best interests of your constituents

    The Golden Valley community voted for Resolution R23-149 overwhelmingly. This resolution is in the best interest of Golden Valley for future water needs and property values. I support option 1. I strongly oppose option 2.

    The Golden Valley community overwhelmingly voted to keep, and continue this program to ensure the future accessibility of water to this valley. The community went through so much to keep our program, to ensure the value of our properties for the future. The vote of the community should not be revisited or over-ridden. I strongly oppose any action to override what the community has already voted on.
