Whoo wee! We is getting us selves a cement pond!
If there is anything that folks like The Goat obsess on more than free trash, it is bringing back a swimmin’ hole for the kiddies. The mayor and the ORT dwell on these surface issues and ignore things like community safety, employee satisfaction, and city treasures like Wild Acres.
In her online message, the Queen stated that the budget “provided money for a feasibility study to completely restore Legion Pool. Mayor Ann Purzner spearheaded and was instrumental in bringing to fruition a $130,000 grant to help rebuild the pool and the rest will be taken out of the capital improvement fund. Legion Pool will be restored under this budget.”
Has taking money out of capital improvement fund (CIF) been approved? Or, is she just talking out of her ass?
If this is grant and CIF applicable, why isn’t the money for the feasibility study being taken out of the grant and/or CIF funds?
It seems to me that the mayor is saying that rebuilding the pool is feasible. This just leads me to wonder if a feasibility study is thus necessary.

Thats a lot of money to spend on the few people per day that were using that pool the last 2 years that it was open. Someone must have a friend that does study's on pools.
* suzyjay, can you contact me, I am having trouble on 1 of the other sites?

Yes, the idea of a pool is popular now because it is summer. However, you are pointing out one of the biggest problems in the whole of St Louis County. It's the opposite of NIMBY. Everyone wants every luxury in their proverbial backyard.
Does every city need a water park, golf course, ice rink, soccer park, library, et al?
The solution, and something I have gone before the city council and spoken toward, is partnering with other cities. Look at Bridgeton, Creve Coeur and Maryland Heights as good example. Each city can use the others facilities at resident rates. The problem is that Overland doesn't have much to offer. But, if they ever bring the seminary property at Wild Acres up to potential we will have a jewel.
There is another, related issue in St. Louis County. That is when city will fight city to provide a TIF and steal sales tax revenue from another. The only winner there is the corporation who gets the big fat TIF, which then hurts school districts. This will continue to be an issue as long as there are so many municipalities in the county, all who derive their tax base from sales tax.
I see Purzner RN has changed her message, from "bringing to fruition a $130,000.00 grant" to now saying "a grant has been applied for". There is a lot more BS to be corrected on her silly message.
I have asked this before, and I will ask again. Whom exactly is, Purzner the lying RN, talking about when she says "huge pay increases"? But I know there is no answer to that question, because Purzner has no idea what she is lying about. She has wraped herself around so many lies, she can't keep track of them. And her ignorant 3 UN-WISEMEN back up her stupid lies.
I don’t see how Music, came to the conclusion of “DON’T LIKE CHILDREN OR OLD PEOPLE” out of the cement pond post. Purzner wants to crap away an alleged 130K, and Music came up with that weird conclusion instead of commenting on Purzner’s wastefulness and lies. These people baffle me. So, if the Citizens of Overland don’t want to waste tax dollars and grants on pools, they are somehow hateful of children and the elderly?
Yowsa, yowsa, yowsa.
Forty-Six & 2,
Do you think that phoney Lions Club ad in the Overland Crotch may have something to do with not wanting Purzner as the Fair Princess?
That person was behind the ad. So yes, you are correct, it is actually the person.
Golly gee Wally.
I will add that up to the ad.
Forty-six & 2,
Oh no no....I didn't think you were correcting me at all. I knew you were playing along with me. It's hard sometimes to communicate when you don't hear the expression in ones voice. Golly gee MaMa.
I was thinking of hosting a game at the fair, of pin the wig on Owensby. All proceeds will of course go to the pool and trash fund.
Great wit, folks.
It seems logical to think that an organization would APPEAR politically motivated were it so inclined as to exclude one new mayor from a tradition.
edgar ..please spare me the visual of "ORT in speedos" lest I have recurring nightmares, bouts of nausea and fits of temperamental outpouring of tears. J/K...
An INDOOR, 4-season, smaller pool MIGHT be more appropriate, using modern technology.
It just might work:
Super-insulated walls for more economical temp and humidity control. Banana plants, cocoa and coffee bushes [decaf!] beneath palm trees, and stucco walls with statues of iguanas wearing sunglasses and straw sunhats.
Piped-in Jimmy Buffet -- oh ne'r mind....
Swipe card ID's for security, to be accepted by the scanner only inside the initial de-lousing 'cow-dip'/shower, web-cams for the "Big Brother" supervisory spirit.
Aquatherapy tailored to various interest groups, to attract and reward people for maintaining health.
Backlogged reservations for exclusive party-rental agreements, for special events like First-Time-Marriage Honeymoons, Quincineros, Bat Mitzvahs, anniversary parties and goldfish memorials.
Envision pre-sold, strictly contracted Memberships by direct-deposits to keep folks from enjoying the pool without paying, or riff-raff from Ladue spoiling our atmosphere.
After all, aren't we allowed to turn up our noses at snobs?
Nazrudin,
LOL....that was hysterical. Oh the visions in my mind......LOL
Will Cocktails be served poolside?
I have had a love/hate relationship with fags for years. Several times, I have ended the relationship with fags, but I keep going back to the buggers.
DAMN THEM BLODDY FAGS !!!!!!
Forty-six,
Who is going to be wearing the chicken costume for the smoke-off?
LOL....I'm still laughing about the Dirt Cheap Smoke Off....OMG
There's a perfectly simple to the matter of thriving amongst the hissing and heckling throngs.
ALWAYS worked wonders in MY family.
Taking the batteries out of one's hearing aids does wonders, normally, and has the most curious effect of causing unreasonably natural smiles and laughter to appear on the face of the person who is pretending to be paying attention.
As to pool-side drinks, NGIT, a team of Hirve Villacheve look-alikes are interested and seeking their Tarjetas Verde [green cards] or temp work visas.
Sorry, NGIT, but midget gays aren't easy to find.
Next question?
Board of Elections said to look at RSMo on the MO General Assmbly webpage www.moga.mo.gov/,
from which webpage the following was cut and pasted~
Recall of elected officials--procedure--limitations.
77.650. 1. The holder of any elective office in a third class city may be removed by the qualified voters of such city by recall petition in accordance with the procedure set out in sections 77.650 to 77.660 subject to the following limitations:

(2) In the case of an office for a term of two years only, one recall petition may be filed during such term;
(3) For a term of office more than two years, additional recall petitions may be filed but not less than six months later after voter disapproval of the last recall petition;
(4) The recalled officer may not be a candidate to succeed himself at a special election held to fill the vacancy created by his recall, nor may he be appointed by the appointing authority to fill the vacancy.
2. A petition signed by voters entitled to vote for a successor to the incumbent sought to be removed, equal in number to at least twenty-five percent of the total number of registered voters in such city entitled to vote for a successor to the incumbent sought to be removed, demanding the recall of a person from elective office shall be filed with the county clerk which petition shall contain a statement of the reasons for which recall is sought which shall not be more than two hundred words in length. Such petition for recall shall be filed with the appropriate county clerk or election authority within sixty days after the date of the earliest signature on the petition. The reasons for recall are misconduct in office, incompetence or failure to perform duties prescribed by law. The signatures to the petition need not all be appended to one paper, but each signer shall add to his signature his place of residence, giving the street and number and the date signed. One of the signers of each such paper shall make oath before an officer competent to administer oaths that the statements therein made are true as he believes and that each signature to the paper appended is the genuine signature of the person whose name it purports to be.

Ah...it has been a marvelous Friday all around! Now, I'll just sit and wait for good news from the hearing.
I JUST HAD TO DO IT.........an excerpt from the infamous "One Night in Bangkok".
Get Thai'd! You're talking to a tourist
Whose every move's among the purest
I get my kicks above the waistline, sunshine
One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble
Not much between despair and ecstasy
One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble
Can't be too careful with your company
I can feel the devil walking next to me
