DATE: July 1, 2009

SUBJECT: Re: Water Well report

Ryan

If My calculation is correct we way (sic) out (sic) compliance. The Elm street well is pumping 224 thousand gallons per day average. The Kelly street well is pumping 491 thousnd (sic) gallons per day average. That equals 715 thousand gallons per day. We are in violation of our own policy and state mandate.

WHY?

The Chief wants to get a credit account with O’Reilly Auto Parts. Is that okay with you? I remember that you did not want to do business with him at one time.

Thanks.

Wonder why Bramlett is doing Kelley’s job? Thanks Mr. Bramlett we sure don’t need to hear from the State. Does Kelley need another a*sistant? He (Kelley) is being paid quite well so why is Bramlett pointing out the City is in violation of pumping too much. What are we paying for? Kelley just hired an a*sistant to help him. Does anyone else see a problem, if we were not doing our job would you still have one?

The Mayor not wanting to do business with a business in Magnolia what a shame. I wonder what O’Reilly’s done or didn’t do. Wonder about the ice cream parlor? Sure wish the Mayor felt that way about Magnolia Ridge. I am surprised they (O’Reilly’s) have not been asked to leave the City.

Another unpaid bill, was this job put out for bid, one has to wonder about the way things work at City Hall. Johnny Williams in charge of 4A & 4B and spending money and Councilwoman Patsy Williams spending money checks and balances? Was there a contract for this?

The blind leading the blind. Unqualified people at the helm of the city. These folks are NOT smarter than a 5th grader.
