She said the merger was terrible and wasn't enough detail to protect the city or employees. You can't pass a city in two hours and 81/2 pages merger. She felt like there was not enough information. She states she had spoken with the employees and they were not happy with rank, there job level, there insurance cost, and was very unclear and could never get a straight answer from the personnel board. The personnel board could never tell us how it was going to work for the employees, the request to the personnel board was done after merger was agreed upon SO that tells her that it was not finalized and approved by them yet. Also, there was going to be no representation for this district, and never got one financial statement from Saraland. You need to know if you are going to be paying $51million for a school. The school board is a separate entity and would like to see a financial statement from them. She felt that the zoning boards should have talked. The Sail center was never addressed correctly.
