The President of the Fairhope City Council has held on to that title for over 7 years. This is extremely rare, most often Councils share the position of Council President with other Council members. Not Jack Burrell, he has to maintain “control”. His Control has been very costly for the City of Fairhope. His lack of leadership and his favoritism to special interests, CATALYST, is all to apparent.
Ask yourself, How can a Council President not know whose idea it was to “dispose” of 106 acres of city property, worth 20 million dollars? He knows, however Jack chose to lie to the entire council chambers claiming he forgot. WT F 20 million and he forgot who came up with the idea. HA
Fairhope wake the —- up. This is insanity, and corrupt. Stop the Conservation Easement. All you coffee clubs and concerned citizens better wake up and fast.

If you attended or watched on YouTube, the 3 hour and 34 minute Fairhope City Council meeting, May 29th, then there should be no doubt in your mind how dysfunctional the Council is.
Please remember it was Council President Burrell that led the City Council to override the Mayor’s veto over the Fly Creek extension of the zoning. It was also Burrell who settled the Triangle lawsuit and then told citizens it was a purchase of a park, another bare face lie.

The Fairhope City Council avoids public participation or community engagement when at all possible. Refusing citizens the opportunity to speak at public meetings got Mr Burrell and the City in a Federal Lawsuit, that they lost.

It does not make any difference what issue is before the Fairhope Council, conservation easement, Twin Beech land for recreation, the airport or K-1, the Council President time and time again represents special interests, opposes the Mayor and quashes community engagement.
Burrell and Councilman Boone favored the developer of Fly Creek apartments, over the citizens, by accepting a parcel of land that is wetlands and at the foot of the Fly Creek Hwy 98 culvert. Fairhope gets the liability and the developer walks. Jack arrange that it be the last item on the agenda at the last council meeting under Tim Kant who was a no show that night, CORRUPTION.

It took a petition of over 2000 names to get the Council attention before they reluctantly withdrew their support. Fairhope citizens need to convince the City Council not to dispose of any City property until the scheduled land use plan is completed.

If Fairhope was keen to establish a Conservation Easement for a park or the maximum conservation protection of the land then they ignored a much better location closer to the bay, the Breland property. However Fairhope Council President Burrell and the council do not want you to know that story or the fact that they are in Court over the issue.

WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS?
The council has chosen to turn its back on the children that were counting on purchasing the Twin Beech road property. It was the staff and Mayor’s recommendation, supported by outside sources. The Council however said they all agree on Twin Beech Road but it cost to much. Remember folks they bought the soccer fields because it was the cheapest. That cost us over a million dollars to correct the grade, another million was wasted and then they never built the fields to specifications, such as sanitizing the soil. This ended up costing a staggering 5 million and neighbors have to deal with the soccer fields located in a residential neighborhood. Council President Burrell wants an appraisal on one side of town but wants to give away 20 million of land on the other side of town?????? This is not about money this is about quality of life and supporting a neighborhood that has been ignored and is being ignored again.

Citizen have to come together and fight for their neighborhood and community. Call the Council members and let them know you want the Twin Beech property and not to “ dispose” of 106 acres of city property.
Trust me I could give you a dozen more examples of Mr Burrell’s poor decisions as council President.
Last but certainly not least is the Police Report Mr. Burrell conveniently hid before the last election.
POLICE REPORT
POLICE REPORT | THE RIPP REPORT / BALDWIN COUNTY LEGAL EAGLE
A DOCUMENT FOR CATALYST A police report is a public document, it is not a Ripp Report, it is a police report. The Ripp Report has received several tips involving Mr Jack Burrell and the law.
DISPOSE of the Fairhope City Council President Burrell. NOW
I am no fan of Burrell (quite the contrary), but it appears that the owner of the Twin Beech property is asking 30 -40% over appraised value to sell it to the City. As values right now are probably at ridiculously inflated values, we can probably pick that property up for half of the current asking price next year (as all economic signs and experts are pointing to an upcoming recession). For the first time, I applaud the CC for not over paying as it normally does.
As to the triangle property, I think that if the CC ‘gives it away’ each member of the CC may be liable to to the taxpayers. I’d be very careful here if I were on the Council. I know that these guys don’t know it but this is the 21st Century and they don’t own the City.
Burrell is taking ordees.
Yeah he is taking orders….From Catalyst and the outside real estate lobby
I’ll make a deal with you Georgia. You buy that property for half of what the asking price is now and I’ll pay you a 20% premium above that price the same day. Recession! Really? I’ve seen some of your post. You are certainly not a financial advisor much less do you make much sense in any of your post. It will be a few years (if any at all) if a recession hits our part of the Country. Let’s be more concerned about who’s doing all the lying, cheating, stealing and belittling of women in Faihope. If we get rid of the garbage, we won’t have to worry about what we pay and certainly about what we might can pay. I think Burrell is peeing on your leg while telling you it’s raining. All you weak Faihope men that are such cowards. You should know we all watch you everyday. The real shame is that you don’t care what we think of you including your own family. Get with it Georgia. I’m terrible at posting but I’m not plain stupid at it.
Burrell has a micro brain and phallus.
There are few real men left in Fairhope. The real men have moved east to Robertsdale and Loxley.
The beta males in Fairhope are a bunch of wine sipping, sandal wearing, golf cart driving weenies who think their poo poo does not stink. This will come in handy when their treatment plant breaks down and then they won’t have to smell it
How DARE you accuse us beta males in Fairhope as not being real men? Just because I like a glass of Chablis and get in touch with my emotional side doesn’t make me a weenie. You are going to make me cry. I want to go to my secret safe place – which is up Boone’s butt.
I have to that was a great read with a great ending!
Lolololololo. Thanks, I needed that. Ole Jackass Burrell butts available too. They will end up being the court jesters of Faihope or move somewhere else. Bone and Burrell’s butt. I’m still laughing. I think I’ve see them at Big headed Gully. Dammit. I can’t stop laughing. Thanks you.
It is appraised higher because it is the choice piece of property.
Perhaps you don’t understand what an appraisal is. The Appraiser takes into consideration similar properties and the prices for which those have sold (comps). If a property is considered more ‘choice’, it appraises for a higher value. Since the last recession, appraisal rules have been re-written so that ‘opinions’ don’t make a difference. Appraisals have become as scientific as possible so that we don’t have a repeat of the Great Recession when property values had become so over-inflated and lenders were failing due to falling for ‘opinions’ of those who thought that values could never fall.
Boone is a trailer park developer!!! LoL Fairhope is stoopid
Damn Georgia. Put the sauce down. Geez! You think you are an expert on any subject.
Oh Ripp, it is clear. These guys are going to give an “easement” until the dust settles and then let one of the Catalyst developers develop it.
How many of the council members are in real estate, development, or banking? That number alone explains it all. It is all for the Catslyst Clique
There are more houses going in and stressing the swags system. The last time it rained, Fairhope came near close to another washout
The city utilities know all they have to do is notify the EPA, the EPA sends them a $10,000 bill, and the city just pay it. After all, what is a measly ten grand to a city that spends thousands times more on legal bills?
I swear, this council must be tossed out in 2020 before they turn this town into another Theodore. Theodore has its industrial waste and Fairhope has its raw sewage. Both can make you ill.
Caught a nice brown trout off the pier. Thought it was a Baby Ruth.
I do not know anyone with two juvie charges against them.
Butrell is the Roy Moore of Fairhope.
I swear where are the real men in Fairhope? Somebody better run against Burrell!!
The men in Fairhope have donated their vertebral columns to Burrell
