IGNORED BY COUNCIL

I sent two letters to the Town Council to be read into record at their regular meeting held on March 16, 2010 as I was unable to attend. The first letter was to the budget committee who asked for community input. Second was my resignation as Chairman from the Planning Commission. Both letters were either ignored or unimportant to Council business, though action was required.MY resignation letter was given to Town Hall on March 10th,2010 I am posting them as follows and will send them to the newspapers for non-bloggers.

PLANNING COMMISSION RESIGNATION

Date: March 10, 2010

To: Clarksville Town Council

Re: Planning Commission




Mayor Allgood,

Please accept my thanks and resignation from the Planning Commission effective this date. It has been a pleasure to serve my community and the Council on this Commission.
When I asked to be appointed to the commission my intent was to help update the Town Comprehensive Plan. The Council has now adopted the plan and it has been reviewed by the Town attorneys. I thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve my community in this capacity.


Thank you

BUDGET RECOMMENDATIONS

Budget Committee
C/O Connie Torres
Date: 3/16/10




Hi Connie,

I wanted to get my input to you in case I’m not there tonight.


1) I would like to see the lodging / food tax raised to 5.5 %. This is a pass thru tax and I do not believe that it would effect tourism at all.

2) I would like to see the Town employees get a cost of living increase this year

3) I would like to see the duties of the Police secretary and Town halls part time help split or shared if you like. After all we have 7 full time and 1 seasonal officers on staff. That’s 1 officer for every 195 people living in Town. That’s a very high ratio and all calls still go thru 911 (They should be able to do their own paper work.)

4) I think we should think about the current funding of the officer we supply for the drug task force. Fuel and overtime are way over. We need new funding options


Well thanks for your consideration and hard work
