BREAKING NEWS: DMD DIRECTOR KELLY COURES FINDS $1.4 MILLION DOLLARS OF DORMANT FEDERAL FUNDS

7
BREAKING NEWS:  DMD DIRECTOR KELLY COURES FINDS $1.4 MILLION DOLLARS OF DORMANT FEDERAL FUNDS.
On Friday of last week DMD Director Kelly Coures ask Council President Missy Mosby to “suspend the rules” at last nights Council meeting because of an alleged time schedule deadline in spending these funds.  In order for City Council to “suspend the rules” they  had to vote 9-0 to do so.  This is why this issue wasn’t brought up for a vote at last nights City Council meeting.
On last Friday afternoon  At-Large City Councilmen Dr. Dan Adams objected to “suspend the rules” on voting on this issue at Monday evening Council meeting because he felt that he didn’t have enough information on what the $1.4 million dollars were going to be spent on.
At next City Council meeting we also can’t wait to see what “Pork Barrel” projects the Mayor and Coures decide to spend our hard earned tax dollars on.
This is a  developing story we shall update you on this story when we get additional information.

OUR OBSERVATIONS OF LAST NIGHTS COUNCIL MEETING

11
TODAYS “READERS FORUM”
Here are some things we have observed about last night’s City Council meeting that we think deserve some discussion.

What do you think about these things?  Tell us what you think about this or anything else. We want to know what is on your mind.

OUR OBSERVATIONS OF LAST NIGHTS COUNCIL MEETING

Council President Missy Mosby make motions while chairing the meeting.  We hear that this may not be permitted under Robert’s Rules of Order.

Mosby provided no opportunity for healthy discussion or respectful disagreement from the public at the end of the meting.

The obvious “RUBBER STAMPED” voting of 9-0 on every issue on the agenda except one.

There was only one dissenting vote cast by a Councilor in last nights Council meeting. That was Connie Robinson , who replied “Nay” to the question about whether or not Evansville should give up its equity in Buckner, and Kennedy Senior Citizens housing in order to get HUD money to update them.  Robinson ascertained that there would no longer be an age limitation on residents of the EHA apartment towers that are now limited to seniors citizens only  Her concern was its possible that I U Medical students could qualify to live in these newly renovated apartments.

Two of the ordinance changes proposed by President Mosby for allowing funds to be transferred between accounts without prior Council approval and the one concerning the public comments on questions before Council were not taken up last night.

Dan McGinn did take time to praise DMD Director Kelly Coures for finding more “lost” money hiding in the DMD coffers. Maybe Coures and City Controller Russ Lloyd should engage in a “job swap” because it looks like Kelly is a lot better finding cash than Russ.

As the meeting closed, Councilwoman Michelle Mercer  told Council that she will be sharing information she learned about the wonderful success of Fort Wayne’s Headwaters Park with City Council and the Mayor. Apparently she feels that the task of selling Robert’s Park to the public has fallen on shoulders  She feels that the plans for Roberts Park should be patterned after Headwaters.

Please tell us what you think about these things or share your thoughts on whatever you’re thinking about in our  todays “Readers’  Forum”.

YESTERYEAR: Ross Theater

1

YESTERYEAR: Ross Theater

The Ross Theater is pictured here in 1993, shortly before it was razed. Debuting with fanfare on Christmas Day in 1949, its construction was prompted by the opening of Ross Center, an adjacent strip mall on Washington Avenue just east of Boeke Road. The plush theater opened with fanfare, featuring a marble foyer, colorful tapestry walls, a curved screen, and even free bottle warmers in the crying room. By the end of its run, the theater had become a bargain-priced movie house, but the original marquee, illuminated by a thousand light bulbs and neon tubing, remained intact.

TICKETS ON SALE AND DONATIONS BEING ACCEPTED FOR VANDERBURGH HUMANE’S LARGEST FUNDRAISER

The Vanderburgh Humane Society’s 21ST annual Going, Going, Gone to the Dogs! Benefit Dinner & Auction, sponsored by Pet Food Center, will be held Saturday evening, April 30th at the Holiday Inn Evansville Airport. This year’s theme is, “Game of Bones!” The auction typically nets over $60,000 each year for the VHS, which serves the largest number of animals in the Tri-State each year.

The VHS, founded in 1957, is a tax exempt 501(c)(3) organization. The mission of the society is to eliminate pet overpopulation through Spay/Neuter, Adoption, and Humane Education. The VHS receives no tax-based funding and therefore must depend on the generosity of the corporate community and the public to continue the much needed services it offers. The twenty-first annual GGGD Benefit Dinner & Auction is designed to be the largest single fundraising event for a humane society in Southern Indiana. The auction will feature a preview cocktail party, dinner, and both silent and live auctions. Higher valued items or packages with high interest will be featured in the live portion of this successful event.

Tickets are on sale now for this event. Individuals begin at $75 per plate, with benefactor tickets available at $125 and corporate tables of 10 available at $1250. Tickets will not be sold at the door, so patrons should plan accordingly and make advance reservations.

 VHS is also still accepting donations valued at $25+. Just about anything has a place at “Game of Bones,” including baskets, gift cards & gift certificates, services, artwork, jewelry, vacation packages, sports memorabilia, antiques, and more. A great way to show philanthropy and advertise to almost 300 patrons in a single evening!

To purchase tickets, please visit www.vhslifesaver.org/auction. To donate auction items, email a.coburn@vhslifesaver.org or call (812) 426-2563 ext. 218!
