1) Alcohol Beverage License for El Patron approved. 2) Water Sewer & Gas Board selection, David Henshaw. 3) $65,000 budget amendment for repair of old Rec Com building roof and installation of air conditioning units. The Building is now used as the Riverside Church, leased from the city.
MISMANAGEMENT OF MUNICIPAL PROPERTY IN SCOTTSBORO EXTENDS TO A GOVERNMENT SPONSORED CHURCH IN THE ISSUE OF SEPARATING CHURCH AND STATE
Update -July 18, 2016- Riverside Church, building owned by the City of Scottsboro. Roof and air/heating unit payed for by taxpayers of the City of Scottsboro. It has been reported by city officials that the church has a 10 year lease at $250.00 per month. The Jackson County District Attorney is a founder of the church and church elder. Scottsboro Police Station and Municipal Courts may be seen to the right of the church. Google Earth photo, Fair Use for non-profit news and commentary.
From my Face Book Post Dated July 14, 2016 - Confusion about Religion and Government's Role in religion, nationally and locally.
Due to governmental mismanagement of property and public nuisance issues within the City of Scottsboro I am updating this article for distribution. Government property and funds mismanagement extends to the separation of religious worship and government involvement in religious worship.

The meshing of Church and State occurs locally and nationally, it is tantamount to government sponsored religion.
Before I get into this let me say, I'm a Southern Baptist and my faith in the Miracle of Salvation and Christian Values are strong. With that said, religious worship is a personal and family matter. Never should the government be involved in sponsoring any religion, religious events or themes. Particularly, government should not be involved in building or furnishing equipment for a local church, building leased from local government or not! This blurs the entire line of separation between religious worship and state and places an unfair burden on taxpayers.
NATIONAL CONFUSION - 10 million in tax dollars for infra-structure development - http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2016/04/22/should-kentucky-taxpayers-pay-ark-encounter-road/83360676/ An additional 18 million dollars in tax incentives for a religious theme park project.
LOCAL CONFUSION - Should the City of Scottsboro's citizens be paying for a roof and air conditioner on a local church, since the city owns the building. $ 65,000 was spent for a new roof and air/heating unit. http://arklite.blogspot.com/2011/03/scottsboro-city-council-meeting_28.html
Is there a conflict between the City of Scottsboro, where the local District Attorney, DA, Charley Rhodes helped to form the church. ( http://riversidescottsboro.com/our-leadership ) An investigation is underway, according to elected officials, regarding misappropriation/misapplication of funds/violation of State Law, regarding the secret sale of city property?
Elected Officials have stated that the secret sale of the Boat, a Cabin Cruiser, has been forwarded to the DA for action. Do these facts matter? In my humble opinion they matter greatly as all of this is tied into local conflicts of interest, the management/mismanagement of government property, the improper sale of property and property disposition, and includes the misapplication of law regarding the disposition/demolition of private and public property. http://arklite.blogspot.com/search/label/demolition%20on%20private%20property
