SIC Facilities discussions!  See the City's 12/10/12 E-Newsletter and 12/8/12 Powerpoint presentation (in .PDF format) for background.  A public workshop meeting was held on December 15, and the topic will also be discussed at the Council meeting on December 27. Tax implications!

George Marinari, Jr., passed on July 25.  George's family, SIC, and SICTA's Board of Directors suffered a great loss.  RIP, George.  Obituary.  [Webmaster's note: my fondest memories of George include the times he made me laugh during a boring/contentious/boring-and-contentious meeting.  The only time he wasn't smiling is when he was slipping in a dry "one-liner" bit of humor.]
