Conflict of Interest questions still remain
Hank Bonecutter
Questions still remain over recent concerns about “conflict of interest” within city and county government. As I was first to report in a Clarksville Online exclusive, Conflict of interest questions still unanswered in county government, the question first arose with local architect Jerry Clark who at the time was a board member of the Regional Airport Authority.
In a meeting with County Mayor Carolyn Bowers, City Mayor Kim McMillan, and Montgomery County Accounts and Budgets Director Erinne Hester, Clark was informed that due to the County Purchasing Act of 1957, there could be a potential conflict of interest of him serving on that board, and his firm, Clark and Associates, doing business with the county.
It basically states that anyone doing business with the county, could not serve on any boards or commissions, and while there has been opinions rendered on both sides of the law, Jerry Clark chose to resign from the Airport Authority to prevent any conflct, and the county chose to take the other position.

Kathy Slack
F&M Bank has announced the addition of Kathy Slack as a mortgage lender, working in the bank’s Sango office at 2698 Madison Street. Slack has over 25 years of banking and financial experience and has been a mortgage lender in Montgomery County since 1991. Before joining F&M, she was employed as a senior mortgage originator for Heritage Bank Mortgage Services in Clarksville. She has also worked as manager for Preferred Mortgage, LLC and as a mortgage underwriter for First Federal Savings Bank in Clarksville.
“F&M has enjoyed a two-year surge in Montgomery County mortgage loans,” remarked Sammy Stuard, president and CEO of F&M Bank. “This up-tick in the demand for housing has been fueled in part by the recent government tax credits, in part by the county’s steady population growth, and likewise, the influence of Ft. Campbell families transferring into this market. As a result, F&M has had to increase our staff to accommodate the loan requests, and we are happy to add such a well known and respected lender as Kathy to the F&M mortgage team in Clarksville.”
Slack can be reached at F&M Mortgage by calling 931-920-4931.
