District 35E Alpine X Master Development MOU

Expressed concern about building an indoor ski resort in a floodplain and urged the city to consult the Corps of Engineers and protect local nature preserves.

Urged council to reject the MOU, citing financial risks, lack of proven success for indoor ski resorts in the US, and potential blight if the business fails.

Former councilman argued against the Alpine X project, highlighting the developer's lack of master planning experience, flat city revenues, and competing infrastructure priorities like firefighting staffing.

Objected to spending on Woodlake amenities and pursued indoor ski projects, asking council to prioritize infrastructure and keep property tax rates flat.
