I felt a big white elephant in the room , for sure.
walked away quite confused, to be honest.
it was almost like david would say something rude and the room became uncomfortably silent for a long period. they sat awfully close together to be so nasty ? tell me more...if the comm center was hutch's idea i will probably take davids side, but did all the other councilmen vote for the center ?
i presume the bb courts are inside ? but the day it is self supporting , i'll kiss my own ass !
i'm thinkin that no one there liked kim, at all!

Well the town got a grant for bout $170,000 for a community center and the money has to be spent very soon since they hav been sittin on the grant money for a while. The center is gonna be a huge tax drain on dandridge citizens because they havnt even figured the total costs to run this place. Estimates are around the neighborhood of $100,000 per year they are gonna have to gain from tournments to be able to afford 2 staff people, utilities, and other operational costs for the center and that doesnt include money to pay on the debt service which is gonna be around 2 million dollars. I sure hope they got a better plan that or otherwise expect to see a nice like tax increase this coming budget year for dandridge citizens and each year after that.
its still odd

were is the rule that says just because you get a discount or a grant that you must indebt the city for 2.5 + million ?
that is right up there with zero interest bonds that end up costing more than regular bonds !
ford offered me an $8500.00 dollar discount on my new truck, but since i have to count the interest i decided i still cant afford a new truck !
we are in a terrible financial time, and by all accounts it is going to get worse soon, so why are we spending money we dont have on something we dont really need!! why dont we spend the 170K on a 3 or 400K starting portion of this project and then add more when they actually bring in some of those tournaments or another grant !
what the hell is wrong with people, especially elected ones ?
tell you the same

Jim Hutchinson called for meeting tonight be postponed until Thursday. I don't think because of weather, but because he still doesn't have figures for financing. Bids were due in October and I believe only good for 60 days, so will this unaffordable project be rebid or terminated?

Well still no action on community center after last night's meeting, but sounds like several council members are starting to go against building this project. It was rolled to the Feb council meeting for action.

Thanks for the update LOL. They rescheduled and postponed and rescheduled the meeting so much last week I missed the meeting. Just possibly their plan to confuse me is working ? Yea , probably isn't that hard to do anymore.

I think a community center should be for the entire community and their interests, not just for some kids to play ball in! They have school gyms for that!As to tournaments bringing in motel customers: most of them would probably be between teams close by, who would just drive home after a game anyway. It's not like you are building a big convention center like Knoxville has. It is a shame that we have to go to Jefferson City to find a pool. Even the one at the high school has been destroyed and tennis courts put there instead. There are a lot of older folks in this community who would benefit from exercise in the water - less stress on joints. We can't bounce around like teen-agers anymore! If we are going to be saddled with extra taxes to pay for the thing, let it be for something everyone would use.

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Pisces

Things are not always what they seem today, so be careful. Someone might appear to be completely honest but turn out later to have been fooling you in some way. Or a situation may seem quite clear-cut right now but forthcoming events will reveal that things are very different under the surface. So be wary about who and what you believe, and don't let anyone push you into making important decisions today because they may not be in your best interests.
