There seems to be some confusion regarding my “replacement” on the Town of Apple Valley Planning Commission. This is a copy of the e-mail I sent to Councilwoman Barb Stanton announcing my resignation. I hope it clarifies my position. While the item being discussed was the VVWRA Sewer Treatment Plant, under consideration for approval in Apple Valley, it was not the the cause for my resignation. I resigned because I believe that the public hearing process and the public trust was being violated by our town’s staff.

So you bought yourself a country club and now you have to figure out how to pay for it. At tonight’s Apple Valley Town Council Meeting new Town Finance Guru Marc Puckett plans to bring forward funding options for the purchase.
Reportedly one option actually reduces the debt, captures a low interest rate and doesn’t impact the General Fund. There is only one Council member serving who opposed the sale. We’ll see how creative he gets in developing reasons to oppose any funding mechanism.

The statue of Trigger overlooks Apple Valley today, partly because Rich Sparks contributed to bringing the golden palomino back to the High Desert.
And when a house fire devastated a local family, Sparks, owner of Mollie’s Kountry Kitchen, stepped up with a kind and generous heart.
Then late last year when the Granite Hills Girls Basketball season was running in the red, Sparks again played an instrumental role in raising much-needed funds.
