From The property Management Committee

Not much happening in the Property Committee held this morning at 9:30. Most of the commissioners on that committee didn't even show up for it. Non member commissioners in attendance sat in for those absent.
Only one item was brought before the committee for decision and that was to accept the bid of $115,001.00 from Elk Valley Logging to cut timber from the spring property in Campbellsville. Only trees 14 inches and larger are to be harvested.

A second item was discussed in response to a question from the public. That question was should the head custodian be using a county vehicle and taxpayer gas for personal activities?
Only one commissioner acknowledged knowing that the custodian even had a county vehicle at his disposal.
With no one knowing, and apparently very little interest in finding out, the circumstance surrounding the purchase of this vehicle and its use, who authorized it, was the bid process followed, is there any records for its usage or for the cost of gasoline and maintenance, the meeting was adjourned.

I'm sorry if I wasn't very clear in the post. The county will be paid $115,001.00 for the rights to log the property. The money will go into the general fund. there was some discussion about setting it aside for use at the spring head but setting aside money hasn't worked out too well lately. Yes the County Executive was present.

Setting the funds aside for work on the Spring property was a good suggestion but you are right Mr. Barrett. Had that been done the money would have been used up for some other 'want' that someone asked for and would have gotten. I 'want' a lot of things but rarely get any as we watch our budget and dont have a hospital fund to bail us out.

I hope that I can make this post so all county property taxpayer's can understand what meaning of my post is trying to get across to everyone.

Fact's are that on June 30th, 2007, this county had a fund balance of $7,006,801. If you include the Hospital Fund the total would be at $22,006,801.

Now let's jump to March 31st, 2012. We now have a balance of $16,915,966. The difference between the two is $5,090,835, LESS. That mean's in less than five year's we were overspending due to the fund balance.

Our County Executive,announced last week by the end of June we would be back into the Hospital Fund around $661,000. So between April 1st, 2012 and June 30th, 2012 the county will spend $1,915,966 (above the $15,000,000) plus the $661,000. These two figure's added together come to $2,576,966.

How much more of this run away spending can the county taxpayer's take? The answer is NONE!

It is far past time that our elected official's be held accountable, and appointed department head's. It's time we the taxpayer's wake up! Maybe it's time to call for resignation's and elected official's to resign if they cannot do any better than they are at the present. WARNING, do not come asking for property taxes to be increased or a wheel tax. CUT YOUR SPENDING!

What would you suggest? Oh, how about taking Mrs. Garner, Mrs. Vanzant, Mr.Harwell and select commissioners you dislike and hang them all on the square? After that is done, appoint (can't get elected) those like barrett and others of the little group that NEVER meets to fill those positions? Would that make you happy? Isn't this a major planned outcome for duping Giles County voters into opting for a charter? Clever.

8:05 you say Duping? How about Ms. Garner and Mrs. Vanzant publicly stating with great emphasis that previous dipping into the Hospital Fund would be corrected and that all financial worries would be over when the County Collected its property tax monies in February????? was that not duping or just plain ignorance?

Well we done been there and have done that and the funding is still out of whack.

Why don't we all just shutup and allow Vanzant to dip into the Hospital Fund? She has blown $7 million over the past five years so she should be able to blow all $15 million in the next eleven years. Let just say the next eight years, counting for future inflation.

That way most of us olf people will be dead and our kids will have to figure out how to pay the expenses.

To address May 12th @ 8:05 AM.

You must be an employee of the county or one of the appointed or elected official's. Tell me please,if I am right.

The past two county commission's have done a very poor job, and I mean they have failed this entire county and continue to do so at best. Let me state this there are a few that have tried, but not a majority. Now here the county taxpayer's are faced with this mess to clean up as the majority of our elected official's would think.

As I stated before SPENDING WILL HAVE TO BE CUT. How do we go about CUTTING SPENDING?

ONE: When grant's are exhausted or not renewed, those job's created by a grant that employee terminated with the grant.

TWO: Lay-off. There have been way too many job's created in this county for family and friend's and promises over the past several year's. The day of reckoning is here. This has cost the taxpayer's greatly. Just a footnote, there has only been one elected official to lay-off employee's in the past five year's and others created job's.

THREE: Commissioner's need to be held accountable!! Example's: What was the $15,000 approved for overtime pay? What department's, and for what reason's? The $6100 for hail damage. What was this for? The $95,780 for the special cot's and chair's. I think these is the second go around of cot's that have been bought over the past eight year's.

This adds up to $116,880. This would be a great start toward the dipping back into the Hospital Fund.

Other suggestion's are welcomed!!

MMC Student Says:

In response to 8:28 and 9:07 on Saturday, 12 May ... I really appreciate both of your posts. It is refreshing to know that there are people in Giles County who can look without bias at what is exactly happening.

Mrs. Vanzant and Ms. Garner will have to live with what they have done and continue to do. I believe that Ms. Garner is a very good accountant; however that does not make you a good financial planner and financial management director. It is my opinion that you are totally out of your league.

As for Mrs. Vanzant, it is my opinion that she is totally ignorant and has no clue as to what is happening and what she has allowed to occur. Tennessee Law mandates that the County Executive/Mayor is, in fact, the Chief Financial Officer of their respective jurisdiction. She may try to deny this; but, it is the law. Just look at any Giles County check or any contract; both have the signature of Janet P. Vanzant. She has allowed the General Fund Reserve balance to deplete from a positive balance of over $6.5 million (in 2006) to a deficit of approximately $661,000.00 as of 30 June 2012. This is $7.1 million in SIX YEARS. She has allowed the county to over spend an average of over $1 million per year.

The Christian Gentleman and others will deny that this is fact, or they will prominently state that they have no knowledge of any facts supporting or denying this issue. The truth is they are either ignorant or apathetic; maybe both. When the citizens of Giles County wake up and find out that our current government will require an additional 30 cents on the property tax rate with a $35.00 wheel tax I believe that the citizens will begin to wonder. If there is no wheel tax I predict that the property tax rate will increase a minimum of 60 cents to $3.37!!

There are those of you who will say that I am doing nothing more than stirring up trouble. My retort to you is …….. “Am I the one who over spent our county budget by over $1 million over the past six years? Am I the one who will impose a horrific tax increase upon all citizens of Giles County?”

I welcome any factual responses, pro or con. From a few I do expect uneducated responses.

MMC, I don't know that they are going to technically raise the property tax, but having received my new appraisal, I can tell you they are certainly going to say your property is worth considerably more than it was last year. I don't understand how this can be, with property values being at an all time low all across the country. Must be that wonderful county spring water that makes land so valuable around here. I guess this way, they can say that they didn't raise taxes at all. What a load of crap.

MMC Student to Ray:

There is no technical about it. Your appraisal last year was raised so that Giles County could receive the same revenue in property taxes at a lower rate of $2.77 versus the prior year of $3.07. Now that your assessment has been raised; can you imagine what you will have to pay at a tax rate of $3.07 or even $3.37???

Simple numbers, you do the math.

Assume a property tax revenue base of $15,500,000.00 last year. To just recover the $661,000.00 short fall of this year (as announced by Vanzant) they will have to raise the property tax base 4.5% or 12 cents. That does not cover any future expenses; just the historical short fall. Now assume that next year's budget is exactly same as in 2012, there will be additional short falls ... say an additional $661,000.00 .. that added to the current rate will require an additional 4.5%. We are now at an increase of 24 cents.

I estimate the increase will be a minimum of 30 cents (with a wheel tax) or a maximum of 50 - 70 cents without a wheel tax. Oh yea ... please do not forget the $2.2 million annual increase requested by the Highway Department alone. A $2.2 million increase (just for the Highway Department) will require a property tax rate increase of approximately 15% by itself.
Now that is reducing the County spending.

This is not personal towards anyone, just financial arithmetic facts.

MMC, I was agreeing with you. But there is "technical" about it. Increasing the appraisal without actually raising the tax rate IS raising the tax rate.I don't need that explained to me. That was my point, although perhaps I did not express it as eloquently as you. I don't need a bunch of mathmatical equations to know when I'm being screwed. Thanks for breaking it down, anyway.

There is another point to make about the tax rate we have here in Giles County.

The state of Tennessee suggested a tax rate after reappraisal of $2.69. Does anyone remember this was the first figure that came out? Instead our lovely COUNTY COMMISSION set the rate at $2.77. That is .08 cent's more. The reason this came to be was three position's were going to be eliminated and a few other thing's that would cut the budget around $340,000.

Now if one penny brings in around $45,000 time's 8 = $360,000. What a sneaky way to increase the tax rate. This was so we could keep the position's.

It is long over due for the tax payer's to WAKE UP or you are going to be PAYING UP!!

Good point but do not forget that those three positions that were put back in the budget failed the vote by the commissioners to go back into the budget. However Vanzant over road the commissioners vote, while they sat quietly by, and put the positions back in the budget.

One of those positions was the position Harwell filled. Best fit hiring practice as opposed to a truly qualified employee.

Actually Harwell's position had been vacant as Garner stated in the budget meeting. The other employees were handling the work.

The commissioners had taken that positions salary and two other salaries from another department out of the budget.

At the meeting, Barrett was not allowed to speak, Garner presented the figures for all three positions to go back into the budget. It was explained that Suntrust had a lease and clause for the upkeep of the property to be maintained at a certain level. The two positions were felt by many commissioners to be needed. When Garner was asked for the figures for just the two positions she told them she only had figures for all three positions to be included. The vote was taken to include all three positions and it did not receive the amount of votes needed to pass and be put back into the budget. However, Mrs. Vanzant said the item passed and it went into the budget. Unfortunately no commissioner spoke up and we are having this discussion about a job that should not exist.

It is my belief because of the disruption that Barret caused is the reason the mistake was made, the failed item was included, the budget passed, the revenues from the weigh station have not appeared, and we are running at a $600,000+ deficit. Of course I'm just kidding about my previous statement.

NOBODY I know of has said you can't complain about local government. This all came about because allen barrett got his feelings hurt at one of the meetings. They have allowed him to get up and speak on many occasions and at the risk of causing a total disruption. You know this is true. I think there was at least one occcasion wherein a deputy was about to escort him out of a meeting because of his mouth. That may have happened more than once. And you defend that kind of behavior?

Who has told you to think the way you do? No one stands up for Barret regardless of what he does. That is more of your lies. He had the right to speak and has never caused a disruption except when his rights have been violated and he was not allowed to address his concerns.

Look at the court case with the school board in which a judge ruled he should have been allowed to speak.

If an elected official is so weak of mind they can not stand to listen to a citizen for fear of what they might say, then they do not deserve the position they hold because they are unfit.

I witnessed Vanzant's actions and they were despicable. No one told me to think that way. It is a result of the attitude of our elected officials choosing to embrace wrongful behavior towards it's citizens. And you continue to enable that behavior.

Considering the financial state of the county and the way our management has frivolously over spent us into a crisis, front page local paper, maybe they should have heeded Barret's warnings.

8:40, you sure do require a lot of explanations about my posts. If you would just slow down and concentrate, you should be able to get it eventually. I never insulted you for being a homosexual, only pointed out the fact that you were a homosexual. I don't dislike you because you're a homosexual, I dislike you on general principles. The fact that you are a homosexual has nothing to do with my feelings. Some of my best gay friends are homosexual. Your suggestion that I am un-sure of my sexual orientation does not bother me in the least. However, it does seem to be a sticking point with you. If a person is good and decent, which side of the road they drive on doesn't concern me in the least. If you have a fear that you can be persuaded to switch teams, that is your problem, not mine.
In response to who "my God" is, the answer is not who, but what. My God is a loving, caring, omnipotent being that has the power to strike you down, but would rather just let you know if you screwed up. That should be evident by the fact that he allows worthless pieces of nothings like yourself to exist instead of squashing you like a bug. Now please, if any of this is unclear or you have any more questions, hurry up and ask. You are quite literally boring me to tears.

4:00, I could give a crap what you think, but tell me what you want me to say and I will, if that will get you to shut the hell up. I'm sick of talking to you. It's not my fault you can't concentrate long enough to put together more than a few non-sensical sentences.

6:28, open your damned eyes when you read. Per my 6:58 post, "Of course I judge; every day. I'm a sinner. I know it". As long as you are posting, at least I won't be the stupidest one on here. Thanks for that anyway. I've never been run over, as you put it, but I have been in an accident that would probably have killed a little man like you. In closing, if I need anymore crap out of you, I'll squeeze your head. Should be plenty for everyone.

You can't seem to stand the fact that I claim Christ and that there are those who actually have the nerve to have opposing views here on this blog. I don't think you people counted on that.

So Ray, if someone that was a diabetic and had no legs, or a person with a weak heart, or cancer, or any handicaps you would whip their butts just because they offend you? What a man!!!! One other thing, my God is a who not a what. Yours must be the same as Obama's, muhaa-haa-med. You are one dangerous and sick dog. I did not call you a name, I called you a what.

If your god is a who you are implying that he is no more than a man. You must have a different bible than I do. It would take a "what" to be the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. A being, not a who. Your opinion of me would probably matter much more if you were not so un-informed, asweepay. You would do well just to go ahead and give up, you are no challange for me at all. woof woof, dumbass.

Wow Ray, you have gotten in over your head around here. First of all, you have completely ran out of clever comebacks. Secondly, you are always threatening to whip somebody or daring them to tell you who they are and you wouldn't do anything about it. And the worst think of all is the fact that you are a liberal that is probably taking money from the goverment and you like to complain about everyone else. You are your own problem. However, as old as you are, I don't see you ever getting out of your own way. You are a loser! Sorry to say it, but I bet it isn't the first time you have heard it. Did you really think people would have to look up the definition of uber? That is hilarious.

6:02, what do you mean by, "Secondly, you are always threatening to whip somebody or daring them to tell you who they are and you wouldn't do anything about it"? I'm afraid that doesn't make any sense. Perhaps if you included all the words that you meant to, it would be readable. Where am I always threatening to whip somebody's ass? I hope, since you have had 8 hours to look it up, that you do know what uber means by now. I was certain a lot of people knew the meaning, just not you. Proofread, Gomer, proofread.

6:02 I'd like to set something straight. You post 'taking money from the government', now, supposing someone was receiving Social Security, Disability, Medicaid, TennCare, etc., this is not taking money from the government nor should it be referred to as 'welfare'. These are entitlements that some qualify for after paying into the funds all their working lives. An ENTITLEMENT and nothing to be ashamed of or should a recipient be belittled because of it.

You accuse Ray of name-calling. Well, look what you are doing. Can you see any hypocrisy at all in that?

Seriously, 9:22? You consider that a threat? My damn, you are way slower than I feared. I really shouldn't have insulted George Lindsey by calling you Goober. The head squeezing statement, dumbass, simply means that if I want your opinion, I'll give it to you. I capitalize my God, but if yours is a "who", I most certainly will not capitalize that. You can call me whatever you want, but my name's on every post I make. I'll call you whatever I wish because yours is not. I can't believe you mis-spelled "Goober", there's no such word as "dumberass", and you left a comma out after 14. I hope, for the sake of everyone concerned, that you are not in a position to try and teach anyone anything. Go read a book or something. I can't keep correcting your posts. I know children that have a better understanding of the English language than do you.

If you can post what you feel like, Why can't I do the same?
4:25 the only thing that scares me about Ray is that some disease will fall from his mouth if we were to close to him. Thanks for telling more of the truth about Him. Watch Him deny it of course.

Oh, but I am indeed a follower of Christ, and am just thankful that YOU are not my judge.
The only reason I ever brought that up in the first place is because allen barrett told a lie on me that I support and go along with wrongdoing. When I denied it, he DEMANDED proof, so I gave him the best proof I had. Neither he nor his one or two followers on here would accept it. That's ok; I don't need their approval or yours.

As to whether or not all I do is run my mouth, or if you should be scared of me or not, there is but one way to find out. Come see me anytime, I've usually got a pot of coffee ready, along with answers to all of your questions. We'll sit out in the yard and talk for awhile. Heck, y'all can even carpool and we can have us a regular party. I've got some blankets and stuff. I'm sure hell will have frozen over, and I wouldn't want you gals to catch cold.

No, barrett did in fact tell a lie that I go along with and support wrongdoings. The point you can't seem to grasp is tht just because one does not see things the way you guys do does NOT make him wrong or a supporter of it. Try to wrap your mind around that and stop this silly game.
