EXTRA: Corruption in Camelot
An anonymous source reached out to CamelotLive to warn citizens of corruption and machine politics happening in our beloved town of Camelot. The city manager sent her henchman Welby to various council members, strongly encouraging them to vote in accordance with the director of planning commission's proposal.
"Support of the director of planning commissions proposal will result in support from him and the assistant City manager. If you vote in opposition, be warned."
What
could this mean for our growing city? Can we still trust in democracy? And are Friday, Cook, or Greene involved in this as well? Stay tuned as CamelotLive gets to the bottom of this fishy situation.

Volume VIII
Councilor Positions Up for Reelection
The time has come to vote on new members to fill seats 1, 2, 3, and 7. In this re-election the mayor spot is open. That means Councilmen Tyler Norris and Will Lane, and Councilwoman Caitlyn Martin and Mayor Katie Bibbee will all be up for re-election. One hopeful for council is Pastor Bri, who also intends to run for mayor.
Strip Mall Development Issue
Crown Development Corporation has proposed the idea of building a strip mall. A few things will have to be done for them to be able to accomplish the plan. There must be a an interstate highway exchange in a close area, and it must be on an area with 30 acres or more. The problem is that there is only one space big enough to hold the strip mall and a parking that is near an interstate. Crown Development does own the 35 acre lot, but they intended on building something else, but now they have decided it is perfect for the strip mall. They only need a zoning change from R-1 to C-3.
Drug Testing Proposal
Mayor Bibbee's term may be coming to an end, but she is holding on by her fingernails to any influence she can get. Bibbee has teamed up with City Manager Tayler Hames in response to rumors of drug use among City of Camelot employees. This proposal would require city employment applicants to undergo drug testing for prohibited substances, as well as testing for existing employees at the discretion of their department director.
Planning Commission Denies Another Variance Request
Ryals Smith, president of Data Tech Corporation, presented a zoning appeal to the planning commission last week. He wished to construct an addition to his house so his mama wouldn't have to live in the basement anymore. However, the council did not grant him special circumstance to build, as it would violate the minimum required distance from the back of your house to the street (30 ft). Smith appeared very confused about the difference between the side and the back of his house.

Volume VII
Noise
Ordinance
The City Council voted in favor of a noise ordinance. The ordinance states that from 12 a.m. through 6 a.m., noise should be kept to a certain complaint-driven level at the neighbors and officers' discretion. See chart below for reference.
Eminent Domain or Huge Pain?
The fifth amendment of the US Constitution grants the government the right to seize private property (with compensation) for public use. With this in mind, Crown Real Estate has undertaken a huge endeavor towards Camelot’s future. 50 properties currently make up the land for a proposed mega shopping area, which will drastically revitalize Crown Knolls and supply jobs and tax dollars to our beloved city. 45 property owners have agreed to sell, which leaves 5 dissatisfied and outraged citizens. These citizens include homeowners and small business owners. Will our council approve the use of eminent domain to seize this property and sell it to Crown Real Estate to be revitalized? Or will they go against such a drastic change to our small-town atmosphere? Contact your district councilor and let them know how YOU want them to vote.
Couches in the Yard
The citizens of Camelot have seen a rise of used, worn out couches on neighbors porches. Mostly those of younger college students who live in housing around the college. Neighbors are worried about the houses looking run down, and other sanitation issues etc. that would affect their property value other than having college students living next door. The planning commission will discuss and decide on the issue in the next meeting.
Resolution for
CSU and CFD
The entire council was shocked last week when the president of CSU began apologizing profusely for running over the Camelot Fire Department’s hose. After scrambling to make excuses, President Kayla Whatley apologized and opened up about her restless leg syndrome. She initially declined to pay for the damaged fire hose before changing her mind. Students, parents, and gentry alike are so relived this issue was settled in such a civilized manner.
Massage Mobile
Now announcing the brand new Massage Mobile! TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE now through December. Just dial 334MASSAGE and we will bring our uncertified massage van to you. It's just like an ice cream truck but better because you get to come inside the van.

Volume VI
Housing Ordinance Failed
Creative homeowners rejoice as they are allowed to paint their houses HOWEVER they want as long as it does not interfere with any singed HOA agreements. Home Depot and Lowe's are having sales on paint through the end of this month to encourage citizens to express themselves publicly.
Explicit Art Update
Mayor Bibbee expressed an apology for anyone who may have been offended by the fact she was offended by the art museum's obscene exhibit. Pastor Bre took a live poll which indicated that most citizens agree the exhibit was obscene, but people still want their taxes to fund the museum. The council voted and agreed to continue funding.
No Breastfeeding Allowed in Businesses
The owner of Camelot Bar and Grill was granted the variance of extending his kitchen, but The Council turned down the second variance permitting toplessness. The City Manager is drafting an ordinance to ban toplessness in a business. This also means that women will not be able to breastfeed in public businesses.
Noise Ordinance
The police chief has brought up the idea of establishing a noise ordinance. The major decided that the citizens of Camelot should vote for adopting a noise ordinance, and the majority of citizens voted in favor of having a noise ordinance. The City Council now has to decide what penalties should be put in place for violating the ordinance, and whether enforcement will be complaint driven, or the product of routine enforcement patrols. The president of Camelot State University voiced her opinion against the noise ordinance idea.
Fire Dept Fires Camelot State U
Tensions rose last month when the president of Camelot State University intentionally drove his car over a fire hose being inspected by Camelot Fire Department. The fire chief spoke directly with the university president, and the president refused to apologize for his thoughtless act. Fire department personnel have voted to discontinue their contract with CSU, and it is up to the Council to decide if they will accordingly force CSU to provide its own fire protection services.
