Follow up, $600 for Water NOT $300 per Mayor!!


  Someone asked Council about the $600 for services and below is a response from Pam Dodson.  Seems those 2 invoices were for Water to fill the Pond.
   
So why not be open and transparent as they profess?  Simply say "Water", not services.
 
Oh yea, maybe because the Mayor stated very loudly during council that they had purchased an additional acre foot of water from the Golf Course for $200, Rafael corrected him that he thought it was $250, then Mayor then said Well $300 for 1 acre foot.
 
 Take this for what it's worth, but the books are being prepared to shore up their stories.

  As Paul Harvey use to say, "Now you have the rest of the Story". Good Day.

I am glad to see that before you post something on your facebook page, you verify its accuracy. You might want to post an accurate comment to the blog you received this from.
Those items you mentioned were payments to the golf club for the purchasing of water so we could refill the Takas Park pond.  As you are well aware, the water district would not allow us to use city water.
Thank you for your inquiry,
 Pamela Dodson

Windcrest Golf Course Free Meals?

  This administration paid the Windcrest Golf Course $600 for "Services"  No description at all in the purchase orders, or the Invoices, could this be a tab for meals.  We have this occurring in Windcrest right under the noses of the current City Council.  Jake Jacobi, Jim Shelton and Pam Dodson are currently on council and simply smile and profess they are open and transparent,  probably while having free services on the tax payers expense at the Golf Course.

 The Public Works Dept submits  Purchase Order for good or services.
Order No 14-498 requests states
"March Service" for $300.  (That's it, no other description)
Vendor: Windcrest Golf Course

The Windcrest Golf Course Invoice states:
Item:  Misc
Description : blank except for Sales Tax   Total: $300.00

Submitting a purchase order simply with the word "Services" is pretty lame.  This purchase order would not get far in my world.

What Services?  Daily Lunch specials for the Council and Mayor maybe?  Maybe free rounds of Golf (with cart) for City Hall.  Who knows.  What do you think?

OK, you say someone made a mistake.  Right.  Lets try that again

Purchase Order 14-499
"April Service"  $300.00  (same as before, heck it worked before...dah)
Vendor: Windcrest Golf Course

Windcrest Golf Course Invoice states"
Item Misc..$300

Both Invoices were Paid!  That should speak volumes about this administration.  This really smells too, because the Golf Course must be in on the ruse.  Why can't they just be honest?  Detail what the Service was for pete sake.  The Golf Course manager should know better too,

  We should not be paying for Free meals at the Golf Course.

Vote for Dan Reese, Henry Moncada and Mike Scott to straighten this mess out before it gets really bad.
