Subject: Employee Positions at the Drainage Department
On July 15th, 2007 the New Albany Drainage Board Contracted with EMC to operate and manage the drainage department for the City of New Albany (City). Their decision included all employees working in the drainage department to become EMC employees.EMC'S contract provides for EMC'S to use EMC employees to complete the drainage work necessary to keep the City in compliance with the current NPDEW Storm Water permit.
EMC'S contract with the drainage board states all current employees working for the drainage department in the City of New Albany will be offered a similar position with EMC, provided said employee can pass a physical examination, drug screen test and obtain a commercial drivers license (CDL). Employees not required to work in the field will not be required to obtain CDL.

Floyd County court extends contract embargo
Floyd Circuit Court Judge Terrance Cody granted a local union's motion to extend by a month an injunction preventing the city from turning over stormwater drainage maintenance to a private contractor, Environmental Management Corp.
Since notice was given Thursday, the embargo extends to Sept. 6, 2007

Freedom of Speech would like to ask:
Is EMC in violation of Judge Cody's Injunction?
Can EMC approach the city employees while this matter is in the hands of the court?
If the Stormwater Board turned in their resignation, how could they vote on continuing Attorney Mike Summers contract after December 2007?
Why doesn't the City just wait for the court to issue a decision on the bidding requirements?
If Shane Gibson is the City Attorney, Greg Fifer is the Sewer Board Attorney, and Mike Summers is the Stormwater Attorney, should they be fighting us taxpayers when we pay their salaries?
Now that's what we call a real - Conflict of Taxpayer's Interest!!!!!!
Again Jimmy...what do you have to hide?
