According to court records, Dawn Cleveringa of Branson has been charged with Theft/Stealing (Value Of Property Or Services Is $25,000 Or More) a Class B felony and forgery, a Class C felony.

A report in the Springfield News Leader indicates the company may be out between $500,000 and $1 million dollars.

Council members sued over parking meters
Nov 24, 2009 News Leave a comment
The City of Eureka Springs could see a $200,000 per year funding stream expire, if a lawsuit filed last week goes against city leaders.
The City Council had called an emergency meeting to install new meters to replace the old, worn out boxes they had been using.
However, the suit claims the city was in the wrong by not allowing a city-wide special election or by opening up the competitive bidding process.
The initial filing listed each council member as a target of the suit. That could be amended to allow the petitioners to sue the city itself.
The cost of the new meters and their installation was approximately $40,000 – the same amount each council member is being sued for.
