A bond referendum is a likely possibility as city officials restart talk and set a course of action on Starkville’s nearly 10-year-old consideration of a Municipal Complex.
A city panel involved in the discussion comprised of Ward 5 Alderman Jeremiah Dumas, Ward 6 Alderman Roy A’. Perkins, Chief Administrative Officer Lynn Spruill and Mayor Parker Wiseman met Thursday to formulate a plan for moving forward.
Ward 4 Alderman Richard Corey was unable to attend the meeting.
Gary Shafer is the long-time architect of record on the project and city officials will ask City Attorney Chris Latimer to talk over with Shafer’s attorney an amendment to his contract which allow him to conduct a feasibility study.
The panel agreed to come up with two names each for a citizen committee to help guide the discussion. Wiseman says he has some ideas about who could chair the citizens panel. City officials discussed the idea of developing a group with no more than nine members.
