Special Council Meeting 6:00 p.m., at City Hall, Monday, March 01, 2010/
Council President David Malone was hospitalized following the four-hour
meeting last Monday night.
Malone has now called for a special meeting to consider looking again
at a proposal that was rejected at the last meeting.
Apparently he has recovered and decided to reconsider his refusal to provide
Mayor Jane Murray with authority to spend Four Thousand Dollars of
a Four-Hundred Thousand Dollar Housing grant she will obtain if Council
will agree that she may spend Four Thousand Dollars of the Grant money
when it is obtained to pay for help she has found to obtain the Four-Hundred
Thousand Dollars.
At the last meeting Jerrold Albrecht, Richard Noel, Kevin Johnson voted
in favor of paying Four-Thousand Dollars for the Four-Hundred Thousand
Dollars grant the City can obtain with approval of the Council. The payment
is to be made from the grant money when it is received. However, Council
President David Malone, Third Ward Councilman Nicholas Basham and
Fifth Ward Councilman John Haas refused to honor the Mayor's request.
This is to be only item to be considered at this special meeting.
