The Baldwin USD 348 Board of Education received a facilities report Monday from district administrators, which recommends another closed school be put on the market and the construction of a multi-use building for district administrative offices and other needs.
I would love to know who these district administrators are, they should be run out of the school district. This article indicates a complete loss of a grasp on reality.
I suggest you seek a class in reading comprehension ( kompreehenshun ) to be able to read my post proposing an alternative idea, Your response(s) have little to do with that post
The idea of volunteer staffing is noble but not practical if you want to guarantee that the shelter will be open whenever it is needed. The fact is a storm cannot be scheduled therefore you have to have someone on call 24/7 365 days a year just in case a storm brews up. All I am saying is that costs money. Real money. It isn't free. 0
Where is that in my post???
I am just saying that in order to guarantee that you have to PAY someone to make sure it's there and it is manned properly (as someone in this thread requested).
Who could have said that ???
And finally - Again, name me one community that has a designated Community Shelter that guarantees it will be open 100% of the time in case of bad weather
Emporia KS. White Auditorium
Your time would probably be more productive posting against yourself
please name me one other community that has a designated Community Shelter that is open 100% of the time? None. Community shelters are open during bad weather.
This will get extremely costly since someone will certainly have to be on call all of March, April, May , June , July... Since you seem to be the resident expert tell me exactly how much this will cost or is it easier to just poo poo the idea and forget about getting facts.
Taxes will have to go up or current services cut. Which will it be? And your calling me knee jerk before you even know a dollar figure. Really ???
Whichever member of the council you are I suggest you do some fact checking. That's doing something before alot of nothing is done - again
Sounds like the City council is responding to my post. Since you want to throw progress under the table and just say " we can't do that because......" Here a simple option, and no it is not a freebie.
BCPD designates on call officers that would operate a rotating ( no pun intended ) duty during tornado season. On duty could mean during a thunderstorm watch and expires as does the watch. As anyone would expect if you work you are to be paid. What's it worth to you ? I would have no problem helping funding a program such as that.
What you are failing to acknowledge in your posts is Baldwin is a community. Community does not mean every man for himself especially when it hits the fan. Do you help out your neighbors ? I do
I for one would like to applaud Mr. Dorathy for his ideas and getting the job done for our community. This is great news for Baldwin and goes a long way toward building / mending community relations. My hope is the city follows Mr. Dorathy's lead and steps up to the plate to seal the deal by providing designated staff for the storm shelter.
Baldwin is a great city to raise a family, you know your neighbors, don't worry about crime..... That said Baldwin is in dire need of a council and mayor that has a real interest in the city and residents. In my short time in Baldwin I have seen nothing from our " leadership" to indicate an interest or desire to move Baldwin in a positive direction.

Baldwin City stands by shelter decision, looks to schedule storm preparedness meeting
Love the title of this piece, so fitting.
Baldwin City stands by shelter decision, ( We have decided to do nothing )
And this bunch was elected ?

Baldwin City mayor says FEMA grant details make city role in community shelter at PAC difficult
Two things are very obvious in this article.
1) Both sides ( the City and School Dist. ) have numerous excuses as to why nothing is being done.
2) A great deal of nothing is being done.
