Shari … you are doing outstanding work. I hope you know how much you are appreciated!
Thank you! I’m enjoying it
It’s great having real time updates of county business. Great job Shari. Just wondering…..regardless of April 14 decision on WU Field, there is a newly inspired community interest in county business & I hope that the citizens continue to pack these meetings & demand that the CCC act in the best interest of the citizens & conduct business & fiscal accountability as required by law.
Thank you so much Chris! And that my friend is one of the main reasons Ridgeview News came to be. I grew weary of the county officials treating the citizens as if we had no right to an opinion and they had every right to make decisions on our behalf without it.
Shari. The entire Ben Franklin quote is as follows: “ Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” I hope I got it right this time. Thanks again.
Could have been my mistake! I’ll fix it and thank you for the correction. You did an amazing job encouraging us yesterday
I did not get my hand up in time before Crystal finished answering questions. I just wanted some clarification of some things that are being talked about concerning the 1982 foundation. First, it has been said that the comissioners could face jail time if they transfer he field to the foundation. I can find no basis for that, but it is on the mind of some. Second, that a pool can never go in because the field is on a flood plain. I thought that was answered too . It just needs some clarification. Finally, it is rumored that Crystal has some previously uncovered negative business dealings that have been delibratly not disclosed. My understanding is that she publically disclosed all things. Could you please clarify? Thanks and love your reporting.
Mr. Plato, I apologize that your question didn’t get answered at Saturday’s Town Hall and applaud your proactiveness in wanting the truth. The County Commissioners would not be charged criminally for conveying the property to the 1982 Foundation, so long as they first have the Calhoun Board of Educations confirmation that they don’t want it back, and then they convey it to another State Agency or County non-profit which would be the LIttle Kanawha Area Development Corporation, which has agreed to the conveyance, and then that agency can convey it to the 1982 Foundation for business development.
As for the pool being built in the flood plain. As always there are steps involved in the construction of anything within the City Limits and the flood plane adds an additional step. When designing and building a pool in a V-Zone, (which stands for “velocity zone,”) structural engineers are required to be part of the front-end design process and in some cases soil engineers, who run tests on the soil to determine the strength, or “bearing capacity” of the soil. In other cases, either timber or helical piles are required. Deep piles may be required depending on the ground strength, even for some in ground pools, depending on the quality of the soil. The needs and requirements for each individual property will differ and will be taken into consideration by a pool contractor. Crystal has stated on several occasion that she will make sure all precautions are taken and permits obtained. If the pool ends up not being feasible she will come up with another plan to develop the property.
As for Crystal having negative business dealings. None of us are immune to negativity, but is it a matter of truth would be the question. I have never discovered anything in Crystal’s business dealings that have been negative. I’ve Googled her (as I’m sure many of her adversaries have. If they’ve discovered something, it would have been made public very quickly. But nothing has been.
I hope my answers are satisfactory and thanks for seeking the truth!
And nothing will be uncovered because there is nothing…..sorry folks we are a pretty boring business. But I would like to caution any folks making slanderous remarks regarding our businesses. If this is confirmed and there is evidence thereof, I can assure you our attorneys will not take it lightly.
