Where does it go from here?
by Michael Jeffries
The controversy started late in 2006 when the Town of Eatonville attempted to renegotiate 2007 contracts with tenants using the Eatonville Community Center.
The town was set to sign a new contract with Real Life Family Center, which has held church services and related activities in that location since 2001 - part of that time as Bible Church. The problem that existed, however, was that their rent would be increased from $460 to $800 per month - something that Pastor Jonathon Cross advised would "cause a burden on the church."
Also, the primary point of disagreement the church had with the new contract was that they felt fees were not being fairly distributed among the users of the facility - all of which are operating as non-profit organizations and all of which were helping people in the community. The Youth Connection organization is also allowed to deduct community service activities at the rate of $10 per hour from their rent.
The controversy resulted in Real Life Family Center (which is now known as CenterPoint) not signing the contract, seeking legal advice and continuing to pay rent at $460 while negotiating with the town and Mayor Tom Smallwood. CenterPoint has kept up with payments, increased the amount paid and appeared ready to sign a new lease for $800. But that is not the way things went.
At the Oct. 13 Town Council meeting, there was a heated discussion centering around CenterPoint's use of the Community Center and even focusing on use of an extension cord to a shed. Councilmember Bobbie Allison suggested the church was "not a good tenant" and Councilmember Brendon Pierce made similar comments. Councilmember Bruce Rath suggested that a rent of only $800 was "subsidizing a church."
The vote on allowing the mayor to sign a contract with CenterPoint was 3 to 2 against, and the church appears to be, once again, in the position of seeking legal advice and protesting the council's action or finding a new home for church services.
What else can I help you with?
To turn around a center point?
To turn around a centre point is to rotate.
What is the imaginary point at which planet turns?
The imaginary point at which a planet turns is known as its "axis of rotation." This axis is an imaginary line that runs through the planet's center, around which it rotates. For Earth, this axis extends from the North Pole to the South Pole, and the tilt of this axis is responsible for the changing seasons. The rotation creates day and night cycles as different parts of the planet are exposed to sunlight.
Where is placed the solar system in the universe?

What point does a solid turn into?
A solid turns into a liquid at its melting point.
In a model of the solar system what is the reference point?
The reference point in a model of the solar system is usually the center of the Sun. This is because all the planets, including Earth, revolve around the Sun in their orbits.
Which type of transformation turns a figure around a fixed point?
A rotation is the type of transformation that turns a figure around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation. During a rotation, every point of the figure moves in a circular path around this fixed point by a specified angle. The distance from the center to any point on the figure remains constant throughout the transformation.
What is a transformation that turns a figure around a given point?
A transformation that turns a figure around a given point is called a rotation. In a rotation, every point of the figure moves in a circular path around the center point, known as the center of rotation, by a specified angle. The distance from each point to the center remains constant, and the orientation of the figure changes according to the direction and degree of rotation. This transformation preserves the shape and size of the figure.
What is the point that a lever turns around called?
The point that a lever turns around is called the fulcrum. It is the pivot point around which the lever rotates to either lift or move an object.
What is a transformation that turns each point of a figure the same number of degrees around a common point?
The transformation that turns each point of a figure the same number of degrees around a common point is called a rotation. In a rotation, every point of the figure is moved along a circular path around a fixed point, known as the center of rotation. The angle of rotation specifies how far each point is turned, and this transformation preserves the shape and size of the figure.
What turns around a fixed point?
a(n)_____________is a turn around afixed point
What is a bar that turns around a fixed point?
fulcrum
A figure that turns around a fixed point?
lilo
What is a part of a machine that turns around on a fixed point?
A pivot or axle is a part of a machine that turns around a fixed point. It allows for rotational movement of components such as wheels or gears.
A transformation in which a figure turns around a point?
rotation (i think)
How do you find the cercomference?
The circumference of a circle is found by the use of a protractor. Placing the point of the protractor at what will be the center of the circle, the point is held steady while the two arms of the protractor are turned around, marking the circle as the protractor turns. When this exercise is finished, the point is in the middle of the circumference, and the circumference figure is measured at any point on the outside circle of the circle, to the point in the center of the circle. This is the measuring of the circumference, from the center point to any other point on the circle. This is done by the study of plane geometry.
What is a pivot point in physics?
a central point in pin on which something balances or turns.
To turn around a center point?
To turn around a centre point is to rotate.
