  To me, complete overhaul means City Manager Russell Allen starts at the top and works down.
  ...
  Meeker and then City Councilor now State Senator Janet Cowell teamed with City Manager Russell Allen to make this top priority.
  ...
  Meeker and Allen are incapable of admitting they can make a mistake.
  ...
  If I were City Manager Russell Allen, I'd have immediately fired the City's Public Affairs Department Director Jayne Kirkpatrick.
  ...
  If I were Mayor Charles Meeker, I would have fired Allen for not firing Kirkpatrick.
  ...
  Well, Allen and Kirkpatrick clearly got our message, and yesterday's parade was grand.

  City Manager Allen pointed out staff and the consultants continue to believe that Option A is the best site.It gives more flexibility, an entrance to the north, secure access, public entrance on the east, more engaging pedestrian activity and entrance on Hargett Street for the public and an opportunity to provide a signature building across the street from one of the public squares.
  
  There is a bunch of discussion on this item, but I thought the above quote was interesting considering the comments we've seen on this board about Allen.I think he's been given a bad rap for the Plensa fiasco.
  
  On the May 8th meeting, the city endorsed the future location of the bldg using Option A, which would replace the old police station at Hargett & McDowell.The mayor stated he feels this is a good opportunity to have a major public, signature type building fronting on Nash Square.

  Allen says once they get designs worked up, estimates and funding allocated, the building could be complete by 2010.

  Imagine my surprise when I got a link to the current City budget proposal; $115,000 is the amount of money requested by City Manager Russell "Sportster" Allen for an anti-graffiti program in his annual budget request for fiscal year 2005-06 (FY06.)
  
  I guess some City staffers making 80K came up with the 115K figure after doing a bit of research for Mr. Allen, but for the uninitiated like us it took all of 30 minutes online to get all this together.
