parking meters are installed. i
You ask who did it. With'
your great concern for civic!
matters you should have
watched this. You know bet

diak, I could answer all these
questions and that possibly
affairs would not be in such
deplorable condition. I might
remind you that f am not the
City Manager; that the pub
lic elect t> Council nieuiuers
and that they, thru their Com
mittee assignments, manage
the operation of the various
departments. I have confi
dence and respect for these
gentlemen, and know they
are doing a sincere and honest
job. You must realize that
democracy is not perfect; that
many elected public officials
make mistakes and some of
them learn thru those mis
takes. The only way that you
can circumvent this condition
is to put the public’s affairs
entirely in the hands of ap
pointed technical personnel.
Of course, when you do this
you no longer have a true
democracy. The policies and
decisions of a democratic
government must emanate
from elected officials repre
sentative of the electorate.
This letter is written with
out rancor or bitterness,
uiuUgii I aiii a little irritated
at your approach—but then
again, I am often irritated.
Frankly, I believe that you do
have an interest in Kodiak
and I hope that hereafter you i
will use the positive approach ]
rather than the negative. In
other words, instead of ques
tionable criticism, let’s have
some positive recommenda- j
tions as how to conduct the :
City’s affairs to the best in
terest of all.
If you have any sincere'
questions or suggestions, I
would be glad to receive them
and will give them my im
mediate attention.
Sincerely,
Lee C. Bettinger
