Tomorrow, 10/28, at 7:00 PM, there will be a special, called St. Marys City Council meeting. It will be immediately following a special, called meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission at 6:30. It seems that plans have been afoot for some time to take the money that was allocated to building the now abandoned river front theatre project and build some sort of roof over the "stage" in the Gilman Waterfront Park.
Now, as I understood it at last night's meeting (although after it was discussed by council, I had to ask them to explain to me what in the hell they were talking about), there is some contractor who has given them an offer to do it at a reduced price because he is "hungry," but they have to give him an answer and a contract by NLT Thursday of this week. Hence, the rush. Now, it turns out that mayoral candidate, Tom Cyphers, is the chair of the Historic Preservation Committee. As was obvious last night, Tom realizes that tomorrow's meeting will be a great opportunity to act mayoral. He will, of course, have to come down on the side most likely to garner the most votes. I've not yet deciphered which way he'll jump because it is not yet entirely clear to me which way the DMA has jumped on this issue. We'll see tomorrow.
