THE Davao City Council postponed the discussion of Apo Agua Infrastructura Inc. (AAII) request to allow the establishment of a hydroelectric-powered water treatment facility as a component of their Davao City Bulk Water Supply in Barangay Gumalang, Baguio District.
The discussion was deferred last Tuesday due to the absence of Councilor Rene Elias Lopez.
Davao City Councilor Danilo Dayanghirang, pushed for the discussion of the item despite the absence of the chair, and through the aid of the committee vice chair Councilor Jesus Melchor Quitain Jr. but it was not pushed due to fact that Lopez did not properly endorse the item to Quitain.
Dayanghirang said city councilors must be prompt in their attendance every session as many items needed utmost attention.
Dayanghirang pointed out that the item is needed to fast track the Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project, which will benefit the residents of second district.
The item tackles about whether or not the city council should approve Apo Agua request to use a parcel of land with a total area of 85, 258 hectares, which is identified as an agricultural zone.
The City Development Council and Local Zoning Board on Adjustments and Appeals issued a joint resolution endorsing the application of the company for the “Allowable Use” of AAII for the establishment of water treatment facility as a component of Davao City Bulk Water Supply Project in Barangay Gumalang, Baguio District.
