[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One way to resolve this is for DPR to issue an RFP request and figure out the fair market value of the afternoon time slots. It will like be a multiple of the $100K/year Maret is slated to pay in capital improvements.

Maret could then pay the fair market amount or take its balls and go back to Cathedral Ave NW.[/quote]

You'd also need to value public use somehow. Hardy spends $800/day busing kids around the city for sports. That's $4K/week in season, or $80k/year, just for starters. Then how do you value the time that those kids spend riding the bus when they could be in class, studying, practicing or at home?[/quote]

The underlying issue is that DPR did zero cost-benefit analysis before renewing the contract. Maret wanted it, so the Mayor wanted it, and that was that. [/quote]

And since Maret keeps trying to take us back a decade and focus their argument on what they did 10 years ago as a justification for getting 10 (or 9) more let's do a bit more digging, shall we? This story really needs some seriously investigative reporting. Jack Evans is the center of this entire stinking situation and given his recent problem with the FBI, I'm guessing there are some threads to be pulled. Marjo Talbott was in place when the original easement contract was negotiated. Evans keeps trying to tell a tale that leaves out lots of info. I'm waiting patiently for the hearing file to get uploaded so that I can listen closely to every witness and most importantly, every utterance of Evans. [/quote]
