CFD negotiating with CH2MHill as early as 2006?

If creating a city of Dunwoody is really about local control and self determination, why would CH2MHill be so interested so early in the process? Could it be that the RFP written by Oliver Porter, consultant for Citizens for Dunwoody, is really for CH2MHill?

Hey Mr. Porter, just who are you planning to give our $10 million to?

Check out this old email from 2006. Notice howTWO corporate officers from CH2MHill are copied on the email?

And just who is Mr Hirsekorn with CH2MHill?

from: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 05/27/08
"...Rick Hirsekorn, vice president of municipal services for CH2M Hill, declined to disclose the private company's profits running city services in North Georgia...

CH2M Hill sees running city governments as a "growth area in the industry," Hirsekorn said....
Hirsekorn said CH2M Hill is interested in doing work for Dunwoody should its residents vote for cityhood in a July 15 referendum and then decide to contract out their services.

CH2M Hill recently contributed $2,500 to the Citizens for Dunwoody Inc., a nonprofit group that pushed for the cityhood referendum, to sponsor a "Dunwoody Right to Vote Celebration" on May 12."


Coincidence? one can only speculate......
