Got Water? More Info On Attempt to Buy Peoria's Private Water Company - By Terry Rowe



ICLEI is a private German Company that promotes sustainability. I have no evidence that they are active  in our region, but that does not preclude the use of their methods by local operators.
 ICLEI promoted a local water campaign in 2000. The site has been taken down from the internet,  but my attachment was copied before the site was removed.
From my attachment;
Milestone 2: Establish targets----consumption.
Milestone 3.---approval for a local water agenda. This gives cause for concern when Jim Baumgartner speaks of leveraging its' strategic importance. (Baumgartner is employed by Caterpilllar)
 
My question, what is the limit of the authority of FFCI?
I request a public discussion of this question.
