Covington Mayor Sam Ramsey has voiced concern over criticism received due to the lack of a written appraisal for land and buildings purchased on Turner Lake Circle , which will eventually house the Rainbow Covenant Ministries' homeless shelter. Before the Sept. 17 vote on the sale Ramsey asked Eddie Phillips of Key Realty to work on an appraisal for the three buildings - which total 17,000 square feet - on the property. Although Phillips could not produce a written report of his appraisal for Monday's city council meeting, he assured Ramsey the value of the property was $980,000.
