Note to administrators: I thought I was posting both of the above on MAAN. They might also fit on the "anonymity" forum.... Sorry! Feel free to move them.... Crackah had noted that folks new to the forum might be interested in them and I was trying to be helpful.....

To Dwayne and Becky,
I want to sincerely thank you both for your assistance with increasing support for the town, the park, and pointing out the importance of the citizens of Summerfield the need to be involved. In your attempt to do for Summerfield what Madeline Murray O'Hare did for Christianity you have succeeded. The rest of the town appreciates the black eye that you have given the group that claimed the title "concerned citizens" Dwayne your covert hacking operation I think really did the trick. While you two are at it, how about claiming to be Nazi, KKK members, I'd like to see them gone as well. With friends like these, who needs enemies!

Here's what I know about the meeting last night.
The Town has formed a litigation committee consisting of Mark Brown and Carolyn Colins. No idea what their goals would be but can certainly imagine.
Voted to buy an ad and 1,000 maps from Nw Merchants to have and sell at Town Hall.
Reclassified Carrie's job to Planning Tech and gave her a pay increase. I hear she is doing a super job. Thank you Carrie.
The biggie I think was Michael has been authorized to negotiate first right of refusal on 3 properties for ball fields and then if he is successful they authorized money to be spent on obtaining drawings of thepropertys.
George was officially hired for 18 hours a week. Yeah George!!1
There will be a special called meeting on next Tuesday night to discuss the web contract and a closed session for the litigation committee.

| What happened to the discussion on the non profits receiving grants from the town?From what I understand, Becky wanted to create a lot of forms, applications, need copies of incorporation papers, bylaws, all officers,directors, and committee members names, and follow up forms on performance. In the past when SRA has pursued monies from other organizations all they asked for was a copy of the 501c and a financial statement. This seems to be a lot of red tape (in my opinion) that a lot of organizations volunteers will not go through. When I spoke of this, people that are involved in SRA got very defensive and did not want their names out their to get smeared or posted in the paper being accused of wrong doing like mine was. Not only once but twice. They also said they did not want their businesses having anything to do with this because of being subject to investigations through the Secretary of States web site as other businesses have in the past by Mrs. Strickland. Looks as if we are now not only loosing volunteers but sponsors also because of the tactics of the Concerned Citizens. This has to stop and I mean now! John Wray spoke from the floor Tuesday night with a positive force that needs to bring Summerfield together.

Must the citizen ever for a moment, or in the least degree, resign his conscience to the legislator? Why has every man a conscience then? I think that we should be men first, and subjects afterward. It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right.

This is a really good piece of news. If there's one person who truly owns the park in his heart & actions, it's George Holub. Good news !!!

Steve Adkins wrote: What do you think about the Town Council Meetings?
I like the town council meetings. They are very informative. What I find interesting is how there isn't that many people that show up for the Town Council meetings. If the people of Summerfield really knew what was going on during these Town Council meetings I believe the community center would be packed! I think if a lot more people showed up then there wouldn't be little outbursts/interruptions. Maybe people would be on their best behavior and not try to be showy. It's JUST a once a month meeting. I'm sure out of the hundreds of people that live in Summerfield, a few more could attend and show support for the town they live in. Where are you people? They could always video tape the meetings and air them on Public Access TV(free) so people of Summerfield could watch it instead of attending. I also believe the meetings are at a point that a Sherriff needs to sit in and keep order. Is that a free service?

I'm sure if the sheriff or a deputy were to attend, there'd be 'somebody' whining about misuse of power because Sheriff Barnes' wife is a sitting council member. Bill Hill does a pretty good job of reining in the wild folks, but boy when he's not there watch out!
You're right Bre Bre. If more people would just come and watch, they'd realize what's going on.
That Public Access TV thing is a good idea, but I don't know if it's free or not. I also wouldn't begin to know if it's possible or how to make it happen.
Hmmm... Councilman Crawford is all about informing the public... sometimes even at his own expense... Maybe he'd foot the bill!
