I believe the ultimate plan is to stop phase 2 of the park.
Some have voiced their opposition loudly to our park and have chosen to interpret the results of the park survey differently than the experts and the majority of people in the town, BUT after attending the park opening and seeing the overwhelming support for the park, they are FINALLY realizing that there actually IS support for this venture. I think they are trying desperately to try to stop it.
My guess is that the "plan" is to require that every decision made by council members, staff or COMMITTEES to be approved by council. BS called a screeching halt to the progress being made the other night when she objected to certain agenda items. Imagine what she will do when she starts micromanaging every decision made by committees and staff.
This will bog things down so much that phase 2 and other projects planned will never come to fruition.
It is my understanding that we have to apply for the grant by January. If we don't get our application in, we don't get the money for phase 2.
They've proven that they are quite skilled when it comes to slowing down progress.

The SPARKS committee was put in place to make decisions before brought to the Town Council for vote not the other way around or am I wrong? Are we as a Town going to let 1 or 2 dictate and control what so much work has gone into? I would hope not! We as a Town cannot let this grant opportunity slip away or it will be delayed another year or more. Please don't let this happen Brother and Sister Summerfield .

I just hope people learned something last Nov.
All the ones I know think we are looking to the future: i.e. the park, water town hall." It will happen- this small group can't stop it", but unless they MAKE THE TIME to let the council know what the majority wants, it will never happen. We paid for a survey that states we want more parks and open spaces, but I guess some TC members need personal email-but copy to all!
Or just drop by a TC meeting and let them know in person.
Some still might not get it 
Bring on PHASE 2! 3, 4.........

Cracker- You must be reading my mind. That is exactly the same conclusion I have come to also. They will just slow every thing down by their screeching and stalling tactics and nothing will get done.
The Sparcs have put in effect a plan to get the grant written and in by January. Now we just have to keep up the support efforts.

| Pappy- The worse news is Robin Smith handed in her resignation tonight. Hopefully somebody else kept minutes so they can enlighten everyone to what went on but the Town is going backwards. How can Michael possibly do all the things he needs to do with all of the harrassment he is having to put up with and now has to find a planner.

The most disappointing news tonight was at the very end, when Michael announced Robin Smith had resigned. And this was after Robin had just been moved off probation one month ago. Another BS fallout.
Strickland is doing everything she can to stall & block the progress toward phase II of the park, thank heavens for 3 - 2 votes.
Attorney Hill also announced he had concluded the investigation of "abuse of power" for Mayor Brown, and found no evidence of misdeeds (is anybody surprised??).

Robin Smith resigned???!!! Nooooo!!! Not another one???!!!
I cain't say I blame her, but dang! Need I ask why? Harassment...ain't that illegal?
I thought she did a good job an' was always pleasant to work with.
Is there goin' to be anybody who can get a job somewhere else that will want to work for Summerfield?

| If we can't pay people to work for Summerfield, I guess the volunteers will continue to drop like flies.......Ghost town anyone?

| I think the UNCG experts said that we would have a 30% return on the surveys that were sent out. Anybody got a clue as to how many we actually got back?

| Oh, my Summerfield friends! I am so sorry to hear about your planner leaving. I never met her, but I only heard good things about her... People have to choose what is best for them, and sometimes working conditions can be detrimental to your well-being. ♥♥♥
