Say it ain't so! Crestwood Point TDD has negitive report form the Missouri auditor's office!
Well, Ms. Montee (an auditor from the State,) seems to feel that the "transfer" of property between the Rosebrook Realty and the City" was not properly handled. Furthermore Mr. Klarr admits that what happened isn't exactly what was told to the BOA. Please click on the header for the story.

July 2007 Report No. 2007-28
by Susan Montee, CPA on Transportation Development Districts
page 55 In addition, the 0.7 acre parcel acquired by the city was deeded directly to the city from the owner of the swim club rather than being deeded directly from the owner to the developer and then to the city. In an effort to clarify the circumstances surrounding this transaction, affidavits were obtained from representatives of the swim club, the developer, and the city which stated that the $850,000 paid by the developer to the owner of the swim club was consideration of both the conveyance of the 1 acre parcel to the developer and the conveyance of the 0.7 acre parcel to the city.
Big deal, with our boy's in place this kind of mistake would never happen with any TIF, CID or TDD they approved. This is all old news, what is the BOA and Mayor going to do now to keep our property taxes low and our services at the same level with the decline in sales tex dollars?
Well, it is a "big deal." Just look at what your "ilk" has wrought upon this community.
A tax that we don't need (1% at Kohls,) a new "swimming hole" that disrupts the local neighborhood, and a problem that has now made the paper!
Tom Ford
Well you and your "ilk" are sending a message to all potential developers that the City of Crestwood is not welcoming to business. Perhaps you, Catherine Barrett, and the rest of your fan club can help draw businesses to Crestwood. You all clearly know everything, and Miss Catherine Barrett has all the time in to world to conduct research and deal with the press. Why don't you team up and work with the Economic development director? Just be sure to use "spell check" before you send out and marketing materials on our behalf. Thanks.
What if our ilk drank a lot of milk and wore a lot of silk? We would be dressed in our best with calcium as our quest!
Did you hear about the young boy who swallowed three quarters? He was taken to the hospital where the doctors monitored him. When the parents checked on him later, the doctor said there was no change...
sorry...I just could not help it!
Fred got his mail one day and found some of it to be damp. The next day, his mail was damp once again. He checked with the postmaster, who said it was postage dew(due)...
My apologies once again...
One day, a snail walks in to a car dealer and buys a new car. He then takes it to a paint shop and has a bunch of S's painted on it.
As the snail is driving down the street, a young boy says to his mother, "Mommy, did you see that S car go (escargot)"???
I'm on a roll ... not a very good one, but on a roll.
How do you know policemen are strong?
Because they can hold up traffic.
What do you call a line of rabbits walking backwards?
A receding hare-line.
Ok...I'll stop.
Full moon? Or just the poor souls from the "club" attempting to be funny?
Tom Ford
It's a full moon, in least in my strange world...and the only club to which I belong is the Auto Club.
Meteor Showers! That's what it 'tis. No one ever said stupid people can't be funny did they? But poets, ah now that's another whole topic to beat to death.
Twas another dumbo from C'Wood
and everyone knew where he stood
On the blog he did blog, oh yawn
Usually in the earliest of dawn
He makes us all feel so bright
As his blogs keep him out of sight
We are all ever grateful for that
His type and his talent are flat
Maybe he's a member of THE POOL
an usher, a lusher or fool
Maybe it's just that he's bored
so bloggings his dawns early sword
Oh, golly, gee, whiz The Devil Made Me Do It
Gosh, someone tries to have a little fun with some odd jokes and inject some humor or at least a chuckle and he gets berated.
Well, if those jokes didn't make you chuckle, perhaps this one will:
Did you hear the one about a small municipality with a mall that will soon lose one of its store anchors?
Hey, I know what it was! I betcha it was a meteor shower that made Dillard's want to close! By golly, oh golly geeeeeee whiz I'm sooooooo brilliant!!!
No, no, it is the burried tanks that have not been taken out!

Hey, I think I am in love. The guy that wrote the above blog is 'my man.' Oh yeah!
I am just overwhelmed with the brilliance of this bloggers post, and his other posts. Mostly I like his group I call CCFDC (Crestwood Citizens for Destroying Crestwood). Ex- officials and their groupies drowning in their angst, calling the opposition names, berating anyone who does not agree with them, making RRO their mantra while Rome burns; clueless skudders who shoulder no blame for some mighty big mistakes of the past which most certainly bear heavily on the present. So, while we read their childlike postings loaded with bullets of despicable blather, we realize that there is simply a group of solidly angry people in this city who would rather see the city fail than rally, so they can blame the man who beat their man. Is this sick, or what? Na, Na na, Na na.
Ummmm Ok.
On Sunday evening, I was in a good mood. Earlier that day I was at an event and heard a lot of what I call "groaner jokes" - jokes that may make you chuckle or just groan. I thought it would be nice to lighten up the conversation and post some of these jokes. I was hoping that at least SOME of you would enjoy them. Were they groaners? Absolutely, but it was clean humor.
Conversation tends to get serious and spirited here, and I was hoping to lighten the mood. After reading the subsequent posts, I can see that I failed miserably!
Next thing you know, I'm either a member of some "club" or according to 7:40PM, stupid. Well, I admit, you're both right. I'm a member of the auto club and I was stupid in thinking that some jokes would lighten the mood and conversation on this blog.
So Tom, it's up to you and it's your blog, but if you wish to remove the following posts I entered - 9:07, 9:08, 9:10, 9:18, 9:22, 9:24 of August 12, by all means, please do so.
My failed attempt at injecting humor only added to the tension on this blog.
6:12 PM blogger: Not on your life will I delete them! Now that we all know the "spirit" that they were posted in, we can, in fact enjoy!
By the way, the reason that the International chess tournemants in Iceland were cancelled was because the hotel manager could no longer stand " chess nut's boasting by an open foyer!"
Tom Ford
The 7:40 blogger was not referring to the blogger who posted jokes. This blogger actually liked your 'groners' and agrees that it is good to lighten up. This blogger was referring to the ultra-moaner-sobber blogger who despises all that is good about our city and who on EVERY site and subject on Tom's blog berates every move the current administration makes, good, bad, indifferent. I can see where you think it was aimed at you, but it wasn't. It was totally aimed at the negativie person/s whose soul you were trying to lighten. Please you sound nice. Stay with it. You provide levity. Thanks.
Thank you both for the encouragement. I've always thought that humor is good for the soul.
Not a bit of it! We thank you for spending your time giving us something to laugh at and enjoy!
In the imortal words of my Father: "Illigitimous Non Carburendum!"
