Report on JIPSD Commission Meeting

I received a report regarding the JIPSD Commission meeting last Monday, February 8.

Commissioner McMillan asked the District Manager, Robert Wise, three times who wrote the letter to me whose final paragraph included the blatant lie.  On the third request, the District Manager answered something like "our attorney."   He was asked, "what attorney?"   District Manager then said words to the effect that by "our attorney" he meant Trent Kernodle.

Well, it should have been no surprise.  Trent Kernodle wrote a blatant lie and 5 of the 7 Commissioners signed what was put in front of them.

Sad, but no surprise.   This post includes links to both Kernodle's letter and my email.

I was also told that the Commissioners seem to believe that "the Town" is still interested in purchasing property from them for our new Town Hall.    At their prior meeting, Commissioner Hollingsworth said that he heard that the Town wanted the Commissioners to pass Trent Kernodle's Memorandum of Understanding.

Town Council voted 4 to 1 against continuing to pursue the JIPSD location.   Is our dissenter speaking to the JIPSD on behalf of the Town in defiance of a majority vote?

Council voted 5 to 0 for the site of our new Town Hall which is on Dills Bluff Road between Camp and Hillman.   We are working to complete the property acquisition and our engineers and architects have been instructed to begin site planning and design based upon that location.
