City staff is displaying another way that they mislead council and the public.
This slide was part of a presentation made to city council on June 2, 2015:
Notice that the art project to be placed at spur 1966 is scheduled to be completed by September 2015.
That’s good
Well actually it isn’t.
As we wrote in Blue skies under the sun, nothing but blue skies, “At the February 24, 2015 city council meeting we were told that this $500,000 project would be finished and installed at UTEP (spur 1966) in April of 2015.”
The presenter did not bother to tell council that the project was late. He just reported a different completion date. If somehow the slide was referring to a different project, then he failed to tell council anything about this one.
Maybe they need the cloud for our monsoon season.
We deserve better

It probably makes no difference. As soon as something goes up, a citizen will call and complain to the City Manager, who will arbitrarily order it removed, and it will disappear, along with more of our tax dollars.

The cloud sitting up on stilts reminds me of a aerial water tank. They could have asked the artist to design and fabricate it as a water capture and and holding tank, but that would have been too practical as opposed to what it is now, which is a total waste of money.

Things are rarely late in city hall because city staffers rarely ever commit to a deadline on anything. So you’re always on time; El Paso time.
