Preliminary reports are in on the council meeting.....Oh my. Let's see. It's very hard to report on a SF TC meeting and remain positive but I'll try.  Dena looked SOOOOO nice in that gold shirt and her necklace matched beautifully.  Evon, the town clerk looked very nice too... She's a fashionista...very put together looking. Michael did a good job fielding questions and Robin's hair is still lookin' good!


Oh yea, Bill Hill is my HERO!


Ok... I can't do this. You reckon Waytago'd give me a reprieve from all this niceness on TC nites??

Oh!  Here's another positive...... GEORGE HOLUB!


Wow, the list of things he accomplished in the last couple of weeks is amazing.  Just coordinating all of those volunteers was a full time job. 


:D

I kept lookin' when they lowered that park bathroom down to see if there were any Wicked Witch shoes stickin' out from under it.

I had typed this nice update on the meeting tonight and the computer gliched and it all went a way. Since Steve would give me a sign for innuendo's and bad words, ya'll will just have to imagine what I said.

Anyway I thought except for the thing on the credit card balance which I have to assume BS and DC didn't understand because we know they are all about saving us tax payers from ourselves and they voted against uping the balance so that people have had to charge things on their personal credit cards and the Town did not get reimbursed for the sales tax.

There is a special called meeting on September 26 which I think everybody should put on their calendar. The pud is coming up again along with comprehensive plan and a couple of other things. Oh hiring a project manager for the next phase of the park and the ball fields. George has absolutley proved that the Park would not have happened with out him. Besides being there every day George also brought the park in under budget and got tremendous amounts donated. 

Hey Cracker I think you should add George to your hero list with Bill Hill.

For those who weren't there, my understanding is that Dana Luther, town finance officer, recommended that the council up the town credit card limit to $5000.00 instead of $3000.00 because several times in recent months the limit has been reached on the card resulting in denied charges.


Now it's my understanding that all expenses have to be approved by council (usually a 3-2 vote) so does it really matter what the limit is? They weren't voting to SPEND anything, just to be able to pay for the expenditures that have already been approved.


The two CC council members (who shall remain nameless) wouldn't vote to approve. Most of the charges recently have been for the park and I guess that they couldn't bring themselves to vote for it.


I don't understand why they weren't courageous enough to tell the other council members or more importantly, the citizens why they voted against it.


I mean if they had a reason other than spite, isn't it possible that it was a valid reason that the other council members would like to have known about before casting their votes?

One other thing I heard about before I check out for the evening.....


That CC councilwoman (She-haw who shall remain nameless) asked if arrangements had been made for parking at the Park opening this Saturday.  Ms. Beeson told her that the Parks committee had spoken with the school and arranged for buses to be moved so that the Gym lot at Summerfield Elementary could be used.


She-haw then expressed concern about a handicapped parking area. When Ms. Beeson told her that the lot beside the community center would be available for that, She-haw said, "I don't have a sticker, but I have a bad back" and stated that she would need a close parking spot.


I am offended by that. Sorry, but if your Dr. doesn't think you need a "sticker" does a seat on the town council override that???  Hitch a ride on a passing broom and save the parking spots for the elderly and the folks who really need it.


I tried Waytago.... really I did. :?

A couple of observations, Crackah. I think you've shown tremendous restraint in relaying what occurred at the meeting. Was there a tremendous rolling of the eyes when nameless CC talked about needing a "handicapped" space? DOES THIS MEAN SHE'S ACTUALLY GOING TO ATTEND? Wouldn't that be a first?:shock:

Also -- the idea about George being a hero. Is it too late to get t-shirts printed up for the grand opening of the park? It sure sounds as though it would be a fitting tribute to all of George's dedication!!:D

At least the other TC members are persevering in doing what they think is right and best for the town. I would think just by continuing to do this, they will show citizens what REAL representatives are like.♥♥♥

It's not a secret I also have a "bad back", deteriorated disks & all.

Bad Backs need EXERCISE, like walking.   They get stiff from lack of movement. 

Bad Backs are not an excuse for a political parking spot. 

Mark an area at the extreme end of the parking area for folks with "bad backs", I'll gladly park there, and lend Becky an arm to hang onto if she needs help exercising her bad back.
