The current council’s lack of planning continues to plague Tyrone.The previous Town Council believed that having a viable and vibrant town was only possible through proper planning. To insure that the future of Tyrone was what the majority of the citizens wanted they invested in having a professional planning firm develop a comprehensive plan for the town. This plan that was unanimously adopted would have preserved the small town atmosphere while insuring adequate infrastructure would exist to accommodate the future citizens and the need for services. Since January it appears that all previous planning was thrown away and this council has adopted the “react” mode of dealing with problems. This is especially evident by their actions concerning septic problems with the fire station. First they threw away the plan for limited public sewer for the downtown commercial area. Now that they are faced with a fire station that must relocate if it has no way to dispose of its waste they react by looking at turning Shamrock Park and now Triangle Park into septic cesspool. If they are successful, no longer will the citizens be able to enjoy a nice picnic at either park without the odor of sewage in the air, nor take a walk around the lake with the stench of sewer. Of course all activities on the grounds will also be eliminated (easter egg hunt, St. Patrick Day events, etc.). It is sad that Tyrone did not need to be in this bad shape. If this group would only follow the desires of the citizens as they promised and not their own personnel agenda the Town could move forward and not backwards.
