Casino and the City Manager's Report

Comment Up
"The date of May 7th has been set for the Beach/Casino Project Groundbreaking. The event will consist of the traditional groundbreaking ceremony and fun filled community activities to commemorate this momentous occasion."

The City Commission has one heck of a nerve approving Staff's proposal of spending money on a ground-breaking event. This is a ridiculous waste of taxpayer money. Grrr@#$%^

The Casino tenants have been informed that the final move out date prior to the commencement of construction will be May 31st as they had requested to stay in place for Memorial Day weekend. The Casino Dairy Store has fallen behind in it’s rent. The City delivered a letter to the store indicating that unless the deficiency is corrected by the end of the month that further legal action will be taken. Amount due $4,716.59. Do you think we will get the rent? Lots of luck.

This information came from the City Manager's Report. On Tuesday night, she asked the Commission if they thought it was necessary to continue her weekly report that she implemented soon after her job began...it took a lot of work...wondered if people even read it. Staff has always complained about "work" and they want all of us to provide generous retirement benefits and wages. Just another thing the City wants to eliminate to keep the public totally uninformed.

Pure dirty politics. The city manager is allowing the celebration to take place because it's a chance for the commissioners that "saved" the building to get their pictures in the paper.
She can still count to three.

I believe that all 5 on the Dais approved of spending the lesser amount for this event. It was only a workshop so it should come back for a vote.
