damage to the Civic Auditorium. The roof, heating and air conditioning units were destroyed and there was
extensive damage to the interior. All repairs could cost up to $500,000.00. The damage also caused the
cancellation of two dance competitions which bring a huge part of the Auditorium's revenue and generates
revenues for local restaurants, hotels, and other businesses.
Insurance Commission-Councilor Coleman reported they are still reviewing the health insurance bids and are
getting close to making a decision.
Budget Committee -Councilor Catt reported the sales tax was up slightly compared to May of 2010. The city is
still projecting a shortfall of around $156,000 and is continuing to monitor the situation to see if budget cuts will be
necessary going into the second half of 2011.
Police Commission -Councilor Tyrone reported the Police Department had one resignation, two officers are
attending the academy, and one is scheduled to attend. There are four openings. They tested and interviewed
12 -14 people but found no candidates. The new police cars are scheduled to go to the assembly line in June.
The roof is still leaking and is in need of repair. There was discussion about Inspector Ditto's contract. City
Attorney Peeples is to investigate the nature of his employment and also Asst. Chief Oakes is to check with Chief
Paudert about the nature of Ditto's employment.
