Council acts on info provided to them through the city manager. No or not enough info, city manager can lead things the way she wants.

jag, how is the bike path economic development related?  perhaps the other senior staff members were not as persuasive as they could have been regarding building needs?  bike paths are nice features for a community though so maybe the building needs aren't truly needed now.  ]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:21:46 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2267&PID=13832&title=fire-station-improvements-bike-paths#13832 Fire Station Improvements & Bike Paths?? : This was pushed by the city manager... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2267&PID=13828&title=fire-station-improvements-bike-paths#13828 Author: jag123

    I beg to differ with you on this point...the City Council WAS fully aware that building improvements were needed in many City owned buildings.
    The completion of the bike path has been part of the downtower's plans for years.
    We wasted a million dollars on a bike path to no where..and WE the people will get NO bang for these bucks.

jag I am a tad bit surprised that a decision of such magnitude was made before all information was reviewed.  thank you for bringing this to the forums attention.  if the City Commission didn't have full knowledge it is hard to place the blame on them but they should be questioning staff on this matter.  ]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:51:33 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2267&PID=13795&title=fire-station-improvements-bike-paths#13795 Fire Station Improvements & Bike Paths?? : She said that information on how... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2267&PID=13609&title=fire-station-improvements-bike-paths#13609 Author: jag123

She said that information on how far those dollars would go for building repairs was not available, so spend it on a bike path. This does not go for repairs to the existing bike path, either.]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 11:28:42 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2267&PID=13609&title=fire-station-improvements-bike-paths#13609 Fire Station Improvements & Bike Paths?? : jag123, what was the response... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2267&PID=13558&title=fire-station-improvements-bike-paths#13558 Author: transplant

jag123,

what was the response from the city manager and e.d. director when concerns were raised by not using these funds on needed repairs?  was the repair option communicated to council after those discussions?
