SITUATIONS AREN’T ALWAYS BLACK OR WHITE, SOMETIMES THERE JUST GREY. THERE’S BEEN SOME DISCREPANCIES AS TO WHAT WAS ACTUALLY SAID AT THE BRITT CITY COUNCIL BUDGET WORKSHOP ON JANUARY 23RD AND WHAT THE CITY PLANS TO FUND THIS NEXT FISCAL YEAR.
ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE AND EDITORIAL IN THE BRITT NEWS-TRIBUNE LAST WEEK, MAYOR JIM NELSON SAID THE HOBO DAYS COMMITTEE KEEPS GIVING MONEY AWAY TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS IN BRITT. HOWEVER, BRITT CITY CLERK JEANNIE PURVIS SAYS THAT STATEMENT IS NOT ACCURATE, AS IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT FROM A LENGTHY CONVERSATION.

PURVIS ELABORATES ON WHY IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE HOBO DAY COMMITTEE BE THE ONES GETTING THE PROCEEDS FROM HOBO DAYS ACTIVITIES.

OTHER COMMENTS ALLEGEDLY TAKEN OUT OF CONTEXT AT LAST WEEK’S COUNCIL MEETING INCLUDED ONE MADE BY COUNCILMAN CURT GAST REGARDING THE BRITT COUNTRY CLUB AND A BUILDING HE REFERRED TO AS DERELICT. ACCORDING TO PURVIS, MANY BUILDINGS THE COUNCIL DISCUSSED THAT NIGHT WERE CONSIDERED DERELICT, NOT JUST THE ONE MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE.

ALSO, IN THE NEWS TRIBUNE’S ARTICLE LAST WEEK, THE BRITT CITY COUNCIL REDUCED FUNDING REQUESTS FROM THE BRITT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE HOBO DAYS COMMITTEE, BUT MAINTAINED MONETARY REQUESTS FROM THE BRITT COUNTRY CLUB, HANCOCK COUNTY HISTORICAL SOCIETY AND AG MUSEUM, THE BRITT DRAFT HORSE COMMITTEE AS WELL AS THE HANCOCK COUNTY FAIR COMMITTEE. PURVIS SAYS THE NEWSPAPER IS AGAIN NOT ACCURATE AS THIS IS THE FIRST OF MANY WORKSHOPS TO COME AND NOTHING HAS BEEN SET IN STONE.

THE ARTICLE ALSO STATES THAT EARLY BUDGET FIGURES SHOW THE GENERAL FUND TAX LEVY AT $17.063 PER $1,000 OF VALUATION, COMPARED TO $16.93 FOR THIS LAST FISCAL YEAR. PURVIS SAYS NO EARLY BUDGET FIGURES HAVE BEEN RELEASED AS BUDGET FIGURES CANNOT BE DECIDED UNTIL THE FINAL WORKSHOP.
