Aldermen
delay vote on shelter
Continued from page A1
vives pointed out that since
the 'Salvation Army first proposed
moving from its South Marshal!
Street location near Old Salem to
east Winston-Salem five months
ago, votes on the proposal have
been along racial lines:
Some members of the board
openly questioned whether or not
the new proposal was worth the
added expense.
"There is no racial harmony
on that board," she said. And it
appeared to me that the white
aldermen were content to dump
the shelter in Alderman Newell's
ward as long as it stayed out of
their wards." ____
Both of the present sites for
the new shelter are in Alderman
Virginia Newell's ward. But for
Newell, news of an alternate site
came as a welcome relief.
? ~ ? Jt was Newell who first made
reference during the board meet
ing Monday night to a letter she
and other board members
received from H. King Triplett, act
ing chair of the Salvation Army's
local Advisory Board, about a new
site.
After reading the letter, Newell
made the motion to approve the
<9 request of the Salvation Army for
the alternate sHe -and for the city
manager to provide whatever
assistance was necessary to
develop the new facility and report
back to the board with a "decision
package" as soon as possible.
The motion was quickly sec
onded by Alderman Nelson Mal
loy.
? ? But just as quickly, Alderman -
Robert Northington, who appeared
to be annoyed at the prospect of
what would amount to a fifth delay
in making a decision on the shel
ter, chimmed in with a host of
questions. Questions, he said he
had, because he had no commu
nication of any kind from the medi
ator Mayor Martha Wood hired to
help resolve the issue.
Northington voted against
bringing in a mediator when the
matter was considered, calling it
"a waste of time and an abdication
of the Board of Aldermen's author
ity as a governing body."
He asked then of Douglas
Leckie, a member of the advisory
board who was there to represent
Triplett, who could not attend the
board meeting.
"I've never seen, heard from,
had a phone call, letter or anything
else from whoever that person
(mediator) may have been," Nor*
thington said. He asked Leckie
which site, if either, the Salvation
Army preferred.
Leckie answered that the
Trade Street site was preferred,
but that in the interest of Alderman
Newell and others who wanted a
compromise on alternative site
that the Patterson location would
be suitable.
Northington also asked for
clarification on what the Salvation
-Army wanted from the board in
helping to "gel" the deal on the
new location. "Does that mean
you want us to provide what the
* federal government calls technical
assistance.. ..or does that mean
you want us to do that and put
Leckie said the Salvation
. Army may need as much as
$4Z,0oo To pay for some parcels
of the site which has six different
owners. Two owners of the largest
parcels, he said, have given tenta
tive indications that they would
swap land for other city-owned
property. But he said others would
want money for their parcels and
that the Salvation Army would be
looking to the city for assistance.
When Northington asked city
manager Bill Stuart where the
cash would come from, Stuart said
he didn't know.
Then he asked Newell if her
motion was only that the city staff
come back to the board with St
proposal for consideration only.
She said that was correct. That
appeared to be a point that Alder
men Vivian Burke and Larry
Womble also wanted to make sure
was everyone's understanding
and that the board's other options
about a location were still open if
is determined that the Patterson
location for some reason becomes
unsuitable.
The new location came as a
result of a mediator meeting repre

sentatives of the Salvation Army,
Kimberly Park residents, and the
Homeless but not Helpless organi
zation.
But Warren Coppedge,
administrative assistant for the
Salvation Army, said he was not
so sure the controversy about the
location of the shelter would die
down even though an alternative
site had been found.
"It really depends on what the
city manager and his staff come
up with," Coppedge said. "What if
they come back and say the Trade
Street location is still best, or what
if people in the Patterson area say
they don't want the shelter there
either even if the money is avail
able. We'll just have to wait and
see what happens."
The Salvation Army wants to
move into a new facility in order to
expand its sen/ices for the home
less and federal inmates.
Local developer David Shan
non struck a deal with the Salva
tion Army where the agency would
give him the building on South
Marshall and more than $640,000
dollars raised for a building addi
tion.
Shannon would in turn build
the Salvation Army a $1.2 million
facility on the new site.
The board will consider the
city manager's proposal at its
meeting next month.
