Just takes a little voted relief when money is involved!

What did the old Chief leaving have to do with the GBI "problem?"

Are you saying the GBI had a problem with the Tennis Center due to the the chief? Makes no sense! Just bafflement!

The current height restriction is 35 feet. It might go to 60 feet. 500 feet is outside the rules.

The old chief was the GBI problem. Tennis Center had nothing to do with it. The old chief asked the GBI to investigate wrongdoing at the tennis center and they did and said no wrondoing by the mayor, Virgil or Council. Get over that brownclown and friends.

The real GBI investigation was about something else and since you are obviously an outsider - you will never know.

Rules are meant to change! And will, eventually.

Are you mixing up the Chief's supposed preoccupation with porn on the Internet with the GBI investigation, at the chief's request, of the Tennis Center fiasco?

Talking about dense!

Only insiders know, huh? Want to bet? More rope to come!

Please don't take this fellow serious.

He goes by Nitpicker, dollars, etc...He's a complete and total waste of your time.

Now you know.

Who is this fellow, "serious," you mention? What would he take from him?

Am I to "seriously" believe that Mr. Haddix doesn't know exactly what went on and is going on? He is there.
Does one have to be a controlled robot to work at city hall?
We need a Barney Frank there!

Barney Frank?

It is as clear as deep mud!

I couldn't even open the "attachment." Will require buying "Excel."
Good way to hide it from average citizen!

What is the 2.7 million you mentioned?
Do we still owe this much?

I can't understand why you, an official, can't see this stuff and tell us!
Is it not the taxpayers business?
Are some threatened by lawyers? Want a donation to hire a lawyer?
How about the one who used to be on the authority?

I know there is a group who feels that these venues need to be supported even above the hotel tax with further general tax for "importance" purposes.
Not the point! Is it?

"Good way to hide it from average citizen!"

It was apparently good enough to hide it from you although my 10 year old could figure it out.

Cry baby, go here and download the Excel viewer application, for FREE!

Good thing your computer came with IE or you would "B" to Microsoft about it.

What a dweeb.

Would you mind having the ten yr old explain it to me? They can do it right here!

Even Mr. Haddix says it isn't there to figure out! It is hidden and isn't discussed among those left from the fiasco!

By the way has he explained it to you yet?
I have a feeling you don't want to know!

Download OpenOffice for free and set to Word and Excel as defaults. Then it will all open at no cost. Handy and very complete program.

You can also do an open records request from City Hall. Then Staff will dig it all out. But that is a long process and does cost some money.

Ask The Citizen. Maybe they already have it on file. Not sure.

But in the little questioning and research I did on this issue, it is a tangled up mess to dig into.

SIt is very, on the loan, convoluted and involves Tourism, Tennis Center, PTC Brick and Mortar and other budgets. It is not all in one location.

Yes, the Brick and Mortar is about 2.7, but it includes some other loan issues such as Fred and other work, which are not split out, but one lump loan. Would take an accountant to even being to give any idea how much belongs to the Center, exactly, but it is a majority chunk.

To me how we use the H/M is the point, as you saw in the links. I don't like using money one place that can be mused better elsewhere.

Wish I could give better answers. But being in the minority, on Council, does not give me a lot of maneuvering room.

Good luck talking to those who use the be on the Authority. Some got off when they saw it was not good or legal and were not there for worst of it. The rest don't talk about it, really.

It is beyond me why everyone seems afraid of "authorities" and the particular bank who made the bad, unauthorized, loan!
I take it that we do still owe 2.7 million for the authority's commitments?
Don't see how that was even legal.

The city never agreed to pay back $2.7 million. It was actually $920,407. Here's the story in the Citizen when the agreement was announced.

The City Council of Peachtree City will consider approving next week a nearly $1 million payment to a bank and two contractors to settle a long-running lawsuit about the city-owned Tennis Center, according to a city news release Wednesday.

The $920,407 settlement will eventually be paid out of the city's treasury by means of a complicated revenue bond issue and lease-back arrangement with the city's Development Authority, according to the news release.

The initial yearly payment will start at $75,000 in 2008 and increase to a high of $135,000 in the final year, 2017.

Rather than sit and froth at the computer over this, all you have to do is what Don said and enter "Tennis Center Debt Payment" in the site search block on this site.

Is Haddix correct at 2.7 million for the authority, or is this paper article and you?

What does the interest run until 2017 on the million? Does it make it two million?

Who signed that loan for the city?

Aren't you interested in anything ( as opposed to Chicago's dealings) or do you know all the details and think they should be secret?

I searched all this stuff before: it says nothing really except that it was fabricated to be confounding!

"Authorities" are evil!
