</div>
<div><strong>Every contribution helps move this effort forward.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Background: </strong>
</div>
<div>On June 11, 2026, the Wright City Board of Aldermen approved a site plan for a proposed asphalt-production facility near homes, churches, a creek, and the high school.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Residents have raised unresolved questions about whether Wright City’s zoning, land-use, parcel, setback, site-plan, notice, and procedural requirements were fully applied and documented before that approval was granted.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser supports an independent legal review and any time-sensitive action necessary to preserve the rights of affected residents while those questions are examined.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why This Matters</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This effort is not about attacking City officials or opposing responsible business and development.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It is about asking that Wright City’s written requirements be applied consistently, that major land-use decisions be supported by a complete and transparent public record, and that residents have a lawful opportunity to seek review when important questions remain unresolved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reliable zoning and development procedures protect residents, property owners, businesses, developers, elected officials, City staff, and every Wright City neighborhood.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What the Legal Fund May Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Funds may be used for:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Attorney review and legal advice
</div>
<div>A protective court filing, if counsel determines one is necessary
</div>
<div>Filing fees and related court costs
</div>
<div>Public-record, technical, or expert review
</div>
<div>Additional legal representation if a larger court case becomes necessary
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The immediate legal step would preserve the ability to proceed. It would not fund an entire lawsuit. A full court case would require substantially more financial support and additional decisions by the people directly involved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Three Possible Paths:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>1. Board Reconsideration or Corrective Action</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The first and most immediate path is for the Board of Aldermen to reconsider, amend, rescind, remand, or otherwise correct the June 11 site-plan action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Residents are asking that the applicable zoning, land-development, parcel, site-plan, setback, notice, and procedural requirements be fully addressed on the public record.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>2. Court Review of the June 11 Decision</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If the Board does not correct the matter, counsel must determine whether the June 11 site-plan approval can be challenged through judicial review or another court action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are currently treating Friday, July 10, 2026, as a possible protective filing date until counsel confirms the correct legal route, grounds, parties, and deadline.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The initial attorney engagement would preserve our ability to proceed. A full court case would require substantially more funding and likely additional legal counsel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>3. A Future Board of Adjustment Appeal</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wright City’s Board of Adjustment hears appeals from certain actions or interpretations made by the Zoning Enforcement Officer or another zoning official.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Current Sunshine Law records have not identified a separate written zoning-use determination addressing whether this operation is permitted in the M-1 district. Therefore, this route may not yet have been triggered.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It could become available later if a zoning permit, written use interpretation, final staff approval, or other appealable administrative zoning decision is issued after required conditions, parcel consolidation, permits, plans, and staff approvals are completed.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Counsel must determine which route applies and whether more than one claim or procedure should be preserved.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who Would a Lawsuit Represent?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Counsel must determine who has legal standing to serve as the named plaintiff or plaintiffs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A lawsuit would be filed in the names of specific people or entities. It would not automatically include every resident, donor, pledge signer, petition signer, or supporter.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donating does not make anyone a plaintiff. No one will be named in a legal action without being informed and agreeing to participate.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Although a lawsuit would directly represent the named plaintiff or plaintiffs, the outcome could affect how Wright City applies its zoning and development codes. That could affect residents, property owners, businesses, future development, and neighborhoods throughout the City.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Current Legal Fund Support</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort so far. So many people are helping in many different ways.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Current support includes: As of 7/5/26 11:00 AM</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$375 received
</div>
<div>$250 pledged
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyone may contribute. Every donation, regardless of the amount, helps preserve our ability to take the next legal steps if they become necessary.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Shared Community Effort
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>$25 × 100 households
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>One community. Shared legal costs. No family carries the burden alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every contribution helps preserve the opportunity for a complete legal review.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Transparency and Receipts</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are maintaining a record of every contribution.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please provide your email address if you would like a receipt. Receipts have already been issued to donors who requested them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Checks may be made payable to:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>NO WRIGHT CITY ASPHALT PLANT LLC
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Donors, pledge signers, petition signers, and supporters are not automatically parties to any legal action.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What Happens Next?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Additional Sunshine Law records are expected and will be reviewed as they are received.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Depending on the outcome of Thursday’s Board meeting, residents may hold a brief gathering afterward to answer questions, discuss possible next steps, and, if necessary, accept additional donations or pledges.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Zoom meeting may also be scheduled for Tuesday or Wednesday evening so residents can ask questions and hear what has been learned from the additional records and legal review.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Keeping This Effort Respectful</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The aldermen, City officials, residents, property owners, applicants, and everyone involved are real people acting according to the information, advice, and beliefs they have.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We may strongly disagree, but we can continue working through this respectfully by keeping the discussion focused on the applicable codes, procedures, public record, and legal questions—not personal attacks.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Code Deserves a Complete and Fair Review:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li><strong>Protect the process. </strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Apply the code consistently. </strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Support responsible growth. </strong>
</li>
<li><strong>One community. </strong>
</li>
<li><strong>Shared legal costs. </strong>
</li>
<li><strong>No family carries it alone.</strong>
</li>
</ul>
