Council Member Marquez,
Thank you for letting me know Mr. Lubben is incorrect. Your concern about Mr. Lubben’s
truthfulness would best be directed to him and/or his original post.
The purpose of my communication to the City Council was to provide an accurate account of this
project’s administrative record. When social media posts are shared with the City Council it is to
provide context/background on a public discussion. The city does not fact check private party posts
nor is it concerned with where/how someone obtains information (accurate or not). The city is
simply interested in correcting the record. I’m sure you recall the famous quote from Senator
Moynihan, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts.”

Peter,
Mr. Luebben is incorrect. I did not canvass the neighborhood with residents. They made a
flyer and canvassed the neighborhood themselves.
Please share this information with my colleagues. You presented this information to my
colleagues without confirming whether it was true. This approach hurts my relationship with
my colleagues.
Frances

Mayor and Council,
FYI on this post on the Cypress Community Group Facebook page.
As you’ll recall, the Maple Grove North bathroom project was discussed during your
February 28 meeting as part of the CIP update. PW reported the city would begin
soliciting bids in March. The project was not approved and as you know, our bidding
process calls for several City Council approvals before an infrastructure project is
approved/begins.
This is (at least) the third time this project has come before you – the first was when it
was proposed; the second was when the current CIP was unanimously adopted in June
2021 (that was a new business item and this project was highlighted and discussed in
the agenda report).
I don’t have access to the Facebook group former Council Member Luebben posted,
but would be happy to contact him if you can share his contact information.
