FWC, in its letter dated August 22, 2024 did not call off the meeting and remains happy to talk. This
has always been the case. Facilitator Mark Flateau and two FWC Board members discussed the goal
of the next meeting and that FWC would not be able to make commitments that the FWC could not
and should not have to fulfill. The meeting was then cancelled. Our objection is not in communication
/ collaboration with the neighbors, but in being in a position to make commitments that we are unable
to make.
