9/18/12 City Council Meeting- I have Registered Receipt of City Manager Violating MFOIA
Click on the picture ff10:43 I have 3 minutes to expose corruption. I state removing of ALL stormwater documents from the CASS (Capt Albert Stevens School) files. Wayne Marshall, City Planner, thought I was done with them. He didn't count on me coming back the next day when he and his posse were not in the office. Admin. Asst. Marie Stalworth gave me the files and volumes of storm water documents were in there. Mike Morse-DEP, WBRC ENG. Reports, Paul LaTrelle- SAD34, Army Corp, Abutters letters- Mr. Sanderson's -where I specifically asked Wayne the day before to see these commumications, too many to list. This site was a swamp- imagine the documents, plans, etc for drainage, runoff to come to the watershed residents. School went up and I have proved corruption of site condition compliance by the City and DEP-Commissioner Aho closes case- and Belfast takes the 5th. I state requests at least 12 times for Final Approved Site Plans of the sites that are contributing to the destruction of Seaview Terrace via this fictional "stream".
I hold the certified/registered receipt to Joe Slocum, per MFOIA, for the plans and to implement study for runoff impact to the water shed residents. No response-no action. Officials ignore and continue to batter residents, robbing tax dollars for businesses, flooding those without clout, costing thousands to moderate to low incomes in sump pumps and tens of thousands in real estate devaluing while pushing for more business and window dressing.
My request for Seaview Terrace to be included in the Northport Ave TIF District via adding WCGH (annex addition 2011 and new additions currently underway) could build City Storm Water Sewers and stop illegally destroying the private property, endangered flood zone/plain of Seaview Terrace for enormous amounts of forced City Storm Water as a free sewer is logical and necessary. They have turned this into a personal ego issue (see Eric Sanders bristling and Mayor Ash timing me to the second) to deflect from the true danger forced on Seaview Terrace. A TIF District agenda brought me to this meeting to stop them from stealing funds for downtown projects. An informant had advised that City Storm Sewer near the bypass on Northport Ave has been broken for many, many years, adding to the flooding of residents. Please, please, fix it, save our homes and lives.
No comment from the peanut gallery only Mayor Ash to interrupt me to advise I have 30 seconds left.

Current TIF districts in Belfast:
The Rationale: Belfast-based window manufacturer Mathews Brothers wanted to expand [relocate?] on Perkins Road where there was no city water or sewer. The city created the TIF on the calculation that the increased value would be enough to make annual payments on a 20-year bond to extend to pay for the work, while extending the utilities to an area that includes residences.
The Wild Card: The new Coastal Farms Food Processing Facility, which opened in August falls within the Northport Avenue TIF district, which was established specificallly for the sewer expansion, which is covered by taxes on the Mathews Bros. property. Whatever money is added to the TIF fund by Coastal Farms would be extra, Marshall said, but coud be diverted to a different TIF district, like the Downtown Waterfront district. Marshall, the property is not expected to be assessed until April, so the amount of TIF revenue is unknown.
