Very litttle good is coming out of DCED lately. Now there are rumors floating around about "contract steering" with the federal recovery money coming to Flint.
A recent RFP (Request For Proposal) is allegedly being steered to Greg Averyhardt and Salem Housing. The description reads almost like the job description of the job that John Carpenter once did. It is being said that Averyhardt doesn't want a permanent job and wanted a contract position. He is working in some capacity with Salem now.
The city was planning a pre bid meeting, only they wouldn't put the time of the meeting on the web site. They notified individuals of the bid and posted it on the city web site. John Carpenter submitted a proposal and had to go to the DCED office to find out when the meeting was. He could not get the information by phone or the city website!
Three showed up at the pre-bid meeting; Averyhardt representing salem, Flint NIPP and Carpenter. Only two put in proposals, Averyhardt and Carpenter. More details to come! |

Some in council have indicated they may target Atkinson in the new budget as they don't believe the city requires 2 levels of supervision in the department.
Tracy Atkinson is known for making remarks about older people on the CWAC and the need to replace them with younger people. It appears her opinions spill over into the workplace and that she is actively trying to push out an older white employee. Those who know Tracy say she fells she can eplace this employee if she loses her current position.
Mole- Is Tracy still working at Mott college and does she get paid to go to United Way for grant review and her Black Women conferences? |

| People are lying on Tom Pabst, alleging he will not sue the city because of some vague relationship with Walling many years ago. March 31st was Tom's birthday. When asked, he stated he was disappointed with walling and as to future laysuits he said "bring em on"! |

Flint may lose millions in grant money
By Dawn Jones
Flint (WJRT) -- (10/20/05)-- Flint City Council leaders say nearly $5 million in federal grants are in danger of going back to the government because of possible irregularities in the city's Grants Division.
The first of two investigative hearings into the matter was held today at City Hall.
The money involved was to go to local non-profit agencies, but it hasn't been used.
City Council members say former Contract Compliance Officer Sally Haywood may be responsible for the problem.
Councilman Josh Freeman posed this question during today's hearing. "Why are you putting $4.671 million in jeopardy of going back to the federal government?"
Haywood was the city's Contract Compliance Officer in 2004. That's when she investigated and monitored a number of local agencies. The council says, in her reports to the Mayor, she alleged that a number of these agencies were in violation.
According to council members, the mayor used the reports to deny those agencies funding.
They say those funds have still not been used and may be taken away. "I have never ever known a contract compliance officer to ever do any monitoring of Block Grant funds. That's always been the responsibility of the monitors that work in Department of Community and Economic Development," said Councilman Scott Kincaid. "She clearly doesn't understand what a contract compliance officer is."
The Mayor did not attend today's hearing, which is scheduled to continue tomorrow.

Hey Webs, how do you compare the crisis back when we had Sally Haywood doing things with Federal and State money under Mayor Williamson, compared to Tracy Atkinson and Wendy Johnson in the current administration??? |

hundreds of copies of the letter from HUD where Atkinson and Walling administration lost $1.2 million for Smith Village because they did not dialogue with HUD.
Williamson threw Jeanette Haris of the HUD office out of his office and these threats were the result! None of the money was lost because Williamson brought in Nancy Jerkiewicz.The draw downs exceeded what HUD requested. |

I was just looking at the new personnel summary. Wallings $5 million cit in Police will cut us down to 132 police officers. There were 217 in 2009.
1 chief,
0 captains- down 2
7 Lieutenants- up 3 and same as 2009 budget
35 Sergeants- down 5 from 2010 and 17 less than 20009
89 police officers- down from 118 in 2010 and down from 156 in 2009
The number of civilians in the department were 28 in 2009; 20 with 3.5 full time equivalent in 2010; now 18 and no full time equivalents

Now compare this to Community and Economic Development where they increased positions to 15 with 2 appointees and the elimination of the tiltles of all existing staff. Does this mean Walling will be eliminating all of the experienced staff to fill these positions with his cronies?
Now in Parks and Rec There is now a second appointee a superintendent. When was this position approved by coincil?
It would appear that Walling has eliminated most of the level 16 clerk typists, the very exempt positions he wanted to make pay more health insurance to balance his budget. A move opposed by Kincaid.
