Josh

I believe that Ginger Smith will be moving out of state after her retirement.

Interesting- from "Chief" Administrative Assistant to a Director level job in 13 years! She must have had talent beyond their wildest imagination! Haven't seen that happen in private business. They don't fill Director's slots with secretaries at your P&G's or IP's. You wouldn't have a prayers chance as an admin. to make that kind of move. Guess these city government promotion ladders work a little differently than the rest of the working world. Was she an admin. at MUM before taking a job with the city? Perhaps she was under qualified to place her in the Public Works/Rehab. Director's slots if all she had prior to those assignments was working as an admin. assist. Perhaps the 25 accrued days for this year are a roll over from 2008. ???]]> Sat, 07 Mar 2009 09:05:36 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1056&PID=4732&title=prosecutor-on-temporary-assignment#4732 Prosecutor on Temporary Assignment : Does this mean that she retires... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1056&PID=4731&title=prosecutor-on-temporary-assignment#4731 Author: spiderjohn

Does this mean that she retires at a HIGHER monthly suppliment due to her very short stint in this new position?

Also note that she is using 25 accrued days to finish out the month, and we are only two months into the year!

Folks--it ain't the golf course or the health dept.that is bleeding our city dry. It is the bennie/retirement program. Sell the course, eliminate depts. and we will be in the same mess in 3 years WITHOUT those great community assets. Particularly the health dept. The county doesn't want us due to our overwhelming # of govt.assisted residents(due to the section 8 debacle).

Middletown official set to retire

MIDDLETOWN — Ginger Smith, director of Middletown's community revitalization department, has announced that she will be retiring effective March 31.

Smith, 62, has been with the city since 1996 and served as a chief administrative assistant and director of public works before she was assigned as community revitalization director in a City Hall reorganization last summer.

Smith worked for Miami University Middletown prior to joining the city. Her last day of work will be today, March 6.

Doug Adkins, who is the city's prosecutor, was on a temporary reassignment to the community revitalization department. Adkins was named Thursday, March 5, as interim department director by City Manager Judy Gilleland. Adkins' appointment is effective April 1.

"Ginger is a very hard worker who cares a great deal about the city of Middletown and has been a very dedicated employee," Gilleland said. "We wish her the best in her retirement."

Listen folks.....

According to Bob Wilson, President of the board, when George Crout died he left approx...

one million to the Historical folks.

They now have a little more than $300.000 left. This is after the employment of Mr. Ashworth at approx $40.000 a year for 10 years. Also the purchase of the Pickwick building for 200.000+ which has had little use by anyone......

Spider

That's my problem now..the only 501C3 I can use is the Middletown Historical Society.

The Middletown Historical Society may have acted as the fiscal agent for you but I do not believe that donated to the project.

Correct!

You spiked my memory, Mike.

Lack of authority and refusal to co-operate by the main property owners(Thatcher/Blakely/Isroff/Banks/Valen) made us decide to shut it down and return the cash.

There weren't many non-profits(501C3s) downtown at that time, and we were forced to choose someone to get the $$. All the while, Commission was trying to throw more money at us to keep us going since they didn't want to deal with downtown, the infamous parking lot(sell that mess--the Swallens building and the newly acquired old Wards disaster) and the businesses.

We debated long and hard, with sensible and non-sensible options. Consensus was not happening. Finally decided on the hysterical society, because they were operating downtown, Sam A was on our board, and presented the best plan that was agreeable.

We dis-banded, and how it worked out after that was not our issue.

Just the facts as I remember them at this time.

Pretty sure that the Downtown Partnership returned the left-over funds to the city. Whatever happened to it after that--I dunno.

Oh, NO, Spider, that's NOT what happened!!! THAT is what I suggested SHOULD happen: That the people's money should be returned to the cash-strapped city!!!

There was a lot of hemming and hawing, and hoo-haa-ing about how the City could not ask for the money back, and that the money could only go to another 501(C)3. Now I guess that there were NO 501(C)3s ANYWHERE within the city government (for example: somewhere in the schools, or the health dept., or ANYTHING that would give the taxpayers some relief) so The Downtown Partnership chose the Historical Society (Surprise, surprise!) and they chose to to build the model locks water feature at the corner of Verity & Central. And council promised a "full accounting" so that we would all know exacted where the money ended up.

Maybe we will get the "full accounting" tomorrow???
