And, by the way...

Let's not forget that Mayor Clemens, Vice-Mayor Golden, along with Commissioner Jennings, were all o.k. going ahead with the lease for the Mentoring Center, moving into the building and ignoring zoning issues. You can add Commissioner Mulvehill to the list too as she voted to go ahead with the building improvements at city expense - and to have them operate before the improvements were complete.

And, at some point, let's have a discussion about the ultimate use of the shuffleboard court building and property. Does it really make sense to be putting in $200,000 plus worth of improvements into a building that may actually be an impediment to redevelopment in the western part of the downtown? Couldn't this property be used to leverage other private redevelopment dollars in the area?

The discussion that never took place regarding the land use and zoning designation for the property could have provided that opportunity.
