Description

mayor harp , you should look into the head of public works . the director was hired a little over a year ago and he had some big shoes to fill from director procot and this new director has no clue . he came from a small town and i dont think he has the capability to run a dept in a big city . first of all he should live in the city and he does not , not only does he not live in the city but he takes his city owned car home . mayor harp says she is going to replace him and put him as acting director of public works and because of giving him that title he now gets an extra 100.00 dollars a day bonus on top of his regular pay !!!! talk about waste !!!! the men and women of public works work very hard and from what i understand they have been working without a contract for just about 4 years and because of working without a contract they have not gotten a raise in over 4 years but the city is giving extra money to top bosses at public works . they have been a neglected dept for years , trucks falling apart , building falling apart not enough equipment and when we have a bad winter like we have been having over the last 3 years they are called upon to do there job with substandard equipment that breaks down . most of the trucks are held together by duck tape and if it wasnt for the hard work of the garage keeping the trucks on the road we would be in big trouble .
