Columbia City Council meeting, 13 May 2015

Whether or not to keep allocations for Payroll Tax Revenue debated, change proportions, or have all flow into the General Fund was very briefly debated. Some council members want more public input with a formally called Town Meeting with more advance publicity. Mayor Hardwick thinks current process is doing the job.

By Ed Waggener

There was more contention than usual in the called meeting of the Columbia City County on Thursday, May 13, 2014. What Mayor Hardwick said was the big reason the meeting had been called to address, mayor succession, was not on the agenda, and was challenged by Sharon Burton of the Adair County Community Voice and was withdrawn as an item, and discussion of another major issue, how the money from the Payroll Tax would be handled, was cut short.

The Council approves two members of CACEDA

The Council did quickly approve, with a unanimous vote, the appointment of Dean Adams, Lindsey Wilson College Dean, and re-appoint Randy Burns, Director of LWC Alumna Affairs, to the Columbia/Adair County Economic Development Board. All five councillors present, Craig Dean, Linda Waggener, Craig Lasley, Charles Grimsley, and Mark Harris voted to approve the appointments. Councillor Ron Rogers was not present.

The Council approved Mayor Hardwick's recommendation to place Linda Waggener on the board of the J.O.Y organization as the Council's representative. The organization is involved in the issue of homelessness and with Veterans' services.

Letter: French Quarter is Great Entertainment

Robert Cumming writes:
Anyone who has ever visited New Orleans French Quarter can relate to the numerous street vendors with their portable hot dog carts. On slow times when there's little on TV but reruns, I often turn on my computer internet site favorite Earth Cam New Orleans for cheap entertainment, checking out the live streaming action on the corner of Bourbon and St. Peter streets in the heart of New Orleans French Quarter, outside the world famous Cat's Meow Bar. You can see all manner of interesting human drift and flotsam flowing up and down the streets on this busy corner.

In early evening before dark the hot dog vendor always appears setting up his hot dog cart in the same strategic spot just outside the Cat's Meow Bar. Weekends are especially busy with tourists and vendors alike and night time is when the street action really heats, up although the French Quarter is popular seven nights a week. --Robert Cumming
