District Supervisor this year over other more qualified internal candidates. Also, there is is solid possibility he is holding both positions simultaneously. Tokarski and Mc Cloud special treatment could be at play here. Spend it or lose it Parks dept. / Public Works is really competently working for the taxpayers!!! ( At least the ones around Bush Park )</p>Anonymous commented on 'Creekside golf course farce highlights City of Salem dysfunction 'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201bb09930234970d2017-04-21T07:24:51Z2017-04-23T02:02:55ZAnonymousSide note : City of Salem Public Works hired Creeksides Superintendent as a Supervisor of Parks Operations.

The good ole rich guys thought they would pull off a back door deal and no one would know. <br />
I have to credit the Statesman Journal for some good reporting on this. </p>

Everyone should feel empowered to speak out when you noticed irregularities, even if you aren't sure what it means, because it can be pieced together by the rest of us, esp. with a little Snark! :-)</p>Jim Scheppke commented on 'Creekside golf course farce highlights City of Salem dysfunction 'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451c0aa69e201bb09441c37970d2016-10-16T01:34:58Z2016-10-17T02:41:21ZJim ScheppkeCreekside Golf Club Co-owner and resident Terry Kelly wasn't going after a $60,000 subsidy.

You can hear him on the audiotape of one of the Water Wastewater Task Force meetings arguing for Creekside to be moved from the Irrigator classification to the Industrial classification which has the lowest water rates in the City (their rate is $1.54, as compared to Irrigators whose rate is $4.24; Residential is $2.65). His remarks on the tape are pretty hilarious. He's basically trying to convince the WWWTF that "golf is an industry" and he urges them to Google it to see that golf is an industry. Right. He and Tokarski really hung Councilor Steve McCoid out to dry. They should have told him that they didn't really need just a $60,000 subsidy before McCoid committed a state ethics law violation.</p>
