Question:
Are the packets mailed out to Council members ahead of time, or do they just get them when they arrive at the meeting? I know at one time I read that the CC's were not putting in appearances anywhere... I would think there would be some place they could pick up mail, etc ahead of time; just wondering if they do.

| MACCA THE COUNCIL DOES GET A MEETING PACKET IN ADVANCE OF THE TOWN MEETING. HOW LONG IN ADVANCE, I'M NOT SURE. DOES SOMEONE KNOW THIS ANSWER?

| OK, Lacka. I want a copy of The History of Door Hinges -- on tape -- and I don't want to have to pay for it.

One comment I haven't read anywhere, unless I missed it, was the comment BS made about "I don't like change orders". Change Orders mean more money.
It appears we've got project planners doing everything possible to ensure the park comes in on time & on schedule. They are saving every nickel, and need to issue change orders for the saved money, the overall project budget remains unchanged.
Not sure who the guy in the blue shirt was that spoke, but he deserved a medal.
People asking for needed flexibility to do their jobs, and BS snarls at them like they're trying to embezzle the funds.

| Steve, Crackah thinks (via pm) that the speaker that you are speaking of is George Holub. Mr. Holub was also the individual who got the Summerfield signs for free that BS and DC disagreed with, and yes he does deserve a medal. Last edited on Jan 5th, 2006 02:20 am by Lacka

Someone mentioned (Honestly don't remember who) at the SF TC meeting that Strickland and Crawford would be attending a class to "teach" them the Essentials of Municipal Government in Rocky Mount in January. I would think that we (Summerfield Taxpayers) are footing the bill for this 3 to 4 day trip.
I was interested in exactly what would be taught at this class so I took a stroll over to the League of Municipalities Website to check it out. Please feel free to have a looksee.
http://www.emg.unc.edu/
If I am not mistaken, THE SAME class is offered in FEBRUARY, less than a month later, in GREENSBORO that they could attend daily and save us the travel expenses.
Am I correct? Is it only ok to "waste" our money if it is spent on them?
Reminds me of Bruce Davis and the County Comissioners taking that "business trip" to Hawaii that we footed the bill for!

Well, Dang, Crackah! That don't sound right. Those duly elected stalwart stewards of our communal resources, spending it unnecessarily! How can that be?
Uh, I mean, thank-you Cracker. You deserve our humble thanks for bringing this egregious matter to light. Last edited on Jan 5th, 2006 03:01 pm by FatPappy

| Hey did anybody else click that link that Crackah sent? It looks like they still have time to sign up for the GSO deal, and actually save the town money.

| I agree, Crackah. I'm sure new Council members could benefit from such a class, but it does seem that they could wait a few weeks and save some $$$. (Hey, at least they didn't suggest that they attend the one in Asheville!)

| Yeah really. Rocky Mount WOOHOO! Still. They should just wait a few weeks and attend the one here. It would save money and they could support the Greensboro area at the same time.

Why are they going at all. They don't need any more education to nasay everything. They want nothing!
But please correct me if I 'm wrong and their is anything they support other than no new taxes (that one is always used).
I'm one who always tries to find the good so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve,
When you contacted DC, did you copy the other council members? You might be more likely to get a response if all council members are contacted when trying to ask one of them a question.
