  FHR_Meeting20070722s




 

At Saint Francis Church - 7pm

Ideas:
- Focus on Stopping the current plan.  Do not get distracted by details of related projects or other preferred designs yet.
- Focus on the Bibb Commissioners who are "in the drivers seat" who are obstructing the desires of the citizens. - Elmo Richardson and Charlie Bishop.
- Show up in Numbers.  In Person.  There are only 4 more regular Commissioners meetings this year !?
- "Save FHR - Impeach Charlie and Elmo"
- Investigate why/who the SPLOST has gone Bad.
- Letter to Editor
- Telegraph Editorial Board renew focus  and New Articles.
- Campaign Issue for the District#1 candidates - Terry Trip, Lonzy Edwards, Steve Bell
- "Coliseum Parking Lot Hotel" - metaphor for "Not Listening to Citizens"
- Online Petition - Campaign Window.com for non-profits $100/yr - but not as effective as showing up in-person.
- Lawsuit Threat can delay.  like Vineville Neighborhood did with Clisby School design, 
- Charles Cork, Attny in Macon wrote a Book on Condemnation.
- Sandy Simms from Tifton is also well known to confound GaDOT
- New State Law may give the City of Macon a Final Say in condemnation of land inside the City.
- Annex all of FHR into the City
- Republish a list of the State Transportation Committee members
- Bert Bivins will Listen to Citizens and may be swayed by reason, logic and/or sympathy.  His sister Thelma Dillard is very sympathetic and helped us work successfully to save Ingleside Avenue from being 4-laned.
- call Bert at 747-0580 to set up a meeting face-to-face at his office at the Krispy Creme on Pio Nono or at his Butterfly Garden at Lake Tobesofkee.
- 940-AM talk Radio call in 742-0940 with Shane McBride from Mobile Ala (251) 401-6110 cell - need to invite to meetings 
- need to explain better with illustrations to citizens how much a Mess this area will become during and after construction. Muddy Potholes.  Vineville traffic will jam and lock up like a parking lot.
