    I would like to add to this. I posted this on my Facebook group “whats really happening in Center Point,Al”
    ————————
    Council meeting 11/3/16

    If I get names wrong, sorry

    Mayor and all council in Attendance
    I noticed Mr. Haygood had the yearly financial report. Ric Weide let me know that if you go to the office they will give you one.

    Council president Barlow recognized Danny King and Raymond Olan for their service to the city. This is their last council meeting. Thank you for your service.

    Public comment:

    Donna Crago spoke on behalf of Earl Thompson on a parking waiver. Doctor letter says he can only walk 5-10 feet. And she wants his 1040s back council approved said next time to send copies instead of the originals. She had to send them in for some kinda parking pass. I’m not really sure what the pass is for but she has to pay for it.

    Kim Woods asked about a problem with woodside condominiums. She is actually in the city of Birmingham but this concerns areas of Center Point, Birmingham and Jefferson county. Sounds to me like she’s been giving the run around and none is helping her. Problems she said are Woodside is throwing debris into the ditches which is causing her basement to flood multiple of times, her insurance has dropped her because of this. She said Ala dot came In The summer and cleaned it out. But it took no time to stop up again. Jefferson county is suppose to keep it cleaned out and they don’t. She’s concerned for her and her families safety, her home has been broken into several times, her kids can’t go out to play cause of some of the criminals at Woodside. She had had over $65000 worth of property damage. She has put up cameras because of all the drug dealings and sex in cars that she has witnessed. She has called every law
    Number and went to every city council meetings she can to get some kinda help. These and the charter apartments don’t have to abide by the ordinances because charter is section 8 and Woodside is independently owned even thought most are rented out. She’s frustrated that nothing’s being done. Mr. Barlow says he will be talking to Lt. Mayes to see if there’s something that can be done.

    Mr. Haygood: asked if whenever the city starts collecting money from the tickets if they will have Regions or some financial place handle the money since the council can’t handle what they already have Mr. Barlow dismissed him I just love Mr.Haygood
    Next he handed each council member some papers that had pics on them, he said that is all. Mrs.Kennemur stated after looking at the papers “oh that’s my house”
    The photos was of a truck parked in the grass at her house. sorry but that was funny

    Swearing in of the new councilmen will be Monday at 5pm, meeting afterwards.

    Danny King thanked everyone

    Councilman John Leesburg wanted to recognize the 6 and under football team for not only being undefeated but they also was not scored on. .
    The pic was sent to me by a resident, it shows Councilwoman Kennemurs truck parked on her grass.
    That’s about all. Add more if I forgot anything.
