I owe you an apology. Your committee was not created as a study committee of a potential Greenwood-WRT merger, but as an outright reorganization committee. Greenwood and WRT have agreed to merge, whether the strong resolution's intent was to simply take advantage of the opportunity in IC 36-1.5 and/or to block the interests of Bargersville and Center Grove incorporation advocates, it is what it is. My understanding of what the purposes and charge of your committee were not in line with the resolutions authorizing your committee. I should not have offered to participate from the beginning. I had offered to assist in a study of the issues surrounding a potential merger and how it might be accomplished, not to skip over the study phase and directly to a strategic plan for merger. I certainly hope that these issues are studied and considered in some forum, regrettably not your reorganization committee. I regret not having all of the information before or after I offered to volunteer. Thanks, Jeff Brantley Mr. Brantley provided us with this further communicataion with Mr. Sherman:

Pat,

I just got an opportunity to find the relevant resolutions authorizing your committee. I owe you an apology. Your committee was not created as a study committee of a potential Greenwood-WRT merger, but as an outright reorganization committee. Greenwood and WRT have agreed to merge, whether the strong resolution’s intent was to simply take advantage of the opportunity in IC 36-1.5 and/or to block the interests of Bargersville and Center Grove incorporation advocates, it is what it is.

My understanding of what the purposes and charge of your committee were not in line with the resolutions authorizing your committee. I should not have offered to participate from the beginning. I had offered to assist in a study of the issues surrounding a potential merger and how it might be accomplished, not to skip over the study phase and directly to a strategic plan for merger.

I certainly hope that these issues are studied and considered in some forum, regrettably not your reorganization committee. I regret not having all of the information before or after I offered to volunteer.
