The real screw-up was the HIRING of Mr. Ryan by a town that did not need a town manager, nor could it afford one. A good portion of the proof of that is that the same administration that hired Mr. Ryan fired him about ten months later.Last edited on Tue Mar 10th, 2009 11:14 pm by Two Cents

Absolutely incredible misrepresentation of facts. How would any town so greatly miss a town manager when he served for about 6 months at the most? Gordo, you are an incredibly non-credible testament to Mr. Ryan. Some of us expect that he took that job and within a brief period of time discovered that he was in way over his head. That town was no Cheswold.

Gordo -- There is at least one compelling reason that Cheswold has no or low "impact fees." Cheswold's charter has a provision for the establishment of "impact fees" pasted below:
4.2.39 May impose, upon new development or construction or upon first time occupancy of new construction, such "impact fees" as are reasonably calculated to recover the cost of installing, enlarging, improving, or expanding public or municipal improvements which have a rational nexus to such new construction.
Because Cheswold provides no services, and owns no significant municipal improvements, it should impose no inpact fees whatsoever. Hell, the town didn't even display its Christmas decorations in 2009!! Note the requirement of the charter that "such impact fees as are reasonably calculated to recover the cost of installing, enlarging, improving, or expanding public or municipal improvements which have a rational nexus to such new construction."
In other words, Cheswold would be hard pressed to support or defend any impact fee, because it would not be installing, expanding, etc. and municipal improvements to accommodate new construction. Impact fees are not intended to be general government revenue enhancement opportunities; they are intended to take the burden of constructing, improving, and enlarging municipal improvements off the backs of existing property owners.
The former administration in the town that advocated high impact fees was motivated by unbridled greed, just as it was when it applied the town tax rate to the sales price of newly constructed homes, rather that the Kent County-assessed value of those homes. Unbridled greed. And the newly developed business license fees levied by the previous administration -- more greed.

What services are they planning that would need higher impact fees? Water, sewage, are they going handle electric distribution, what?
Do I know of a specific law about job posting no, but doesn't the state require positions to be posted even if they are filling them from current state employees? How do you know you are getting the most qualified person for the job without a actual search? The Mayor and council who did the hiring did not have the best interest of the town in mind when all this occurred, or maybe they thought they did but were not smart enough to do right.

Z, are you serious or just trying to stir the pot.
Duh!!! Cheswold has no services because they did not and are not getting the impact fees Middletown is getting. Is there something about that you do not understand??????????????
You must have been visiting another planet the last couple of years. It is a well known fact that all the Town Council swore under oath Ryan did not write his own contract and it was a legally binding contract. Do you think Cheswold's attorney practically begged the town to settle if he wasn't convinced? Do you think every member of Council who swore they were guilty of violating Ryan's 1st admendment rights was kidding? What law states a job must be posted anywhere????
Grow up and get over Ryan - that's history and your opinion will not change that history or the results of the law suit. The Delaware Supreme Court said all that will ever need be said in that case.
Same 'ole crap, different day.

Middletown has higher impact fees because they actually provide services to the residents. As I said, what services does Cheswold provide except for a police force that has a questionable existence to begin with. Is the crime rate that big in Cheswold and if so who would want to move there to live?
Cheswold would never have needed to pay Ryan a penny if they never allowed him to pretty much create his own position, and write his own contract. Cheswold is not large enough to need a town manager. By the way that town manager position was there ever a job search done, any news ads saying that the town was accepting applications, were there ever any other applicants besides Ryan? If Ryan was such a good Town manager why is it he didn't last long at that other town that hired him? Hmmmmmmm.

| As usual, nobody smart enough to do any good is dumb enough to get involved. The candadite file date has past so only those who already have signed to be a candadite can be voted for. Probably only renegades are on the voting list for election day.

Don't forget we had to borrow $350,000 to pay of Ryan - where is the rest of the money?????????????????????
I don't know of any viable candidates this year. I do know we should not let any Councilmember return. Any good canidates will be destroyed by the likes of Tinari and company.

"Perhaps the State Auditor should try to find out where that money went ...." It seems as though you believe you already know where that money went. You explained much of it in your post. Are there any viable candidates for town council this year?

| Well, evidently the residents of cheswold think twice as much of their mayor and council, because they pay double middletiown's tax rate in exchange for absolutely nothing. It escapes me completely as to why the town, as a municipal instrumentality of the state, has not been dissolved by either the state or the residents of the town themselves.

LMOA we pay a tax rate is $.30 per $100. And no matter what people seem to think about Middletown I think the town council and Mayor do a decent job of looking out for the residents.

| Property tax bills at the rate of 60 cents per $100 of valuation, more than double the county tax rate of 25 cents per $100. That's exactly what the people of cheswold get. Nothing else of value including the uniformed revenue agents that spend their shifts on the southbound lanes of route 13.

You might as well get it thru your head the lord almighty tinari's ego will NEVER let him give up control of Cheswold.
He is at the helm of a ship in stormy seas and is sinking but he can't look below and see the water creeping into the captain's bridge. He will not admit what terrible harm he has done to Cheswold until he is under the water and taking his last breath.

| Dissolving the municipality of cheswold would relieve the taxpayers of the town property tax. As an example, many property owners in Parkers run are paying town property taxes in the $300 to $400 range. Those bills would cease to exist.

WEED -- you are, of course, exactly right in your analysis as to why the town of Cheswold, as a municipality, should cease to exist. Having a municipality only exposes the town property owners to a significant town property tax, for which they receive in return absolutely no services of any value. The town tax rate of 60 cents is more than double the county tax rate. How is that justifiable when the town provides no services?
Yes, they have an unneeded police dept. to pick the pockets of motorists in the area to help support themselves. A town the size of Cheswold doesn't need a police dept.
The elected officials of the town have squandered nearly half a million dollars in legal fees, settlements, and judgments since 2005, related to the firing of the town manager and some town police. That amount approaches the annual budgeted revenue of the town, so it is not inconsequential. Now the mayor has asked the congressional delegation for bailout funds -- which it will not get.

| I have believed for a couple of years at least that Cheswold should surrender its charter to the state, and just allow the village to become an unincorporated community under the jurisdiction of Kent County. The town does absolutely nothing for its residents. It does not furnish water or sewer services, does not operate an electric utility, for all intents and purposes has no real streets or maintenance capability, doesn't even provide trash collection services. Cannot help any residents in developments as they are private properties. The town only sends out a property tax bill to every owner and tries to collect the payment every year. How much is still owed the town from last and past years? Big deal close it down. The town "government" should cease to exist.

If the piper must be paid why is it that the town residents don't furnish the money for that? Instead the police want to take the money from people passing by or throught town.

| Not really true, Helen. Camden is leading the way -- firing the town manager (of course, that is waaay behind Cheswold!) laying-off clerks, public works people, and policemen. This is what a prudent employer does when it has not the funds with which to pay them. Maybe Mr. Tinari should be paying attention.

| UPDATE~~~ Saw the Cheswold police issuing traffic tickets both in the morning and the afternoon on Saturday in the middle of town (not on route 13). Looks like the town has resumed picking the pockets of unaware drivers to generate money for town hall.

| Ummm ... there was a Cheswold Police car sitting with all the lights off near the Heirloom furniture place about 9:30 PM today. The car was pretty far off the roar so I was not able to determine if it was even occupied. Was not doing any business, anyway. No money for the mayor to be counting in the morning.
