Kyle
I agree with Acclaro that Street Repair is a major concern of the citizens of Middletown.
The citizens want to know why we don’t have any money for street repair while
City Hall receives more than 4 million dollars per year in funding.
I would like Mr. Adkins and Michelle Greis to give the public a complete detailedbreakdown and explanation of the Auto and Gas Tax Fund for 2013 and 2014.
Where and how has all this money been spent?

City Council Minutes
November 23, 1999
Mr.Lyons
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
AUTO AND GAS TAX FUND –Mr. Lyons explained that this fund is supported by the gasoline and licensetaxes that we receive from the state and also supported by income tax revenue.This is where the street maintenance and street signal activity is located.Some contractual grounds maintenance comes from this fund. The money from the gas tax isis only to be used for maintenance of roadways soour right-of-way grass cutting comes from this fund.
Plus 1 mill of property taxes also added to auto & gas fund.

This total is about 4 Million Dollars per year.

Please notice that this is not called the GRASS MOWING FUND

Kyle, would you request Mr. Adkins answer what his position to be on the city putting a % of city funding dedicated to funding streets back to a level it was in 1986, which was about 3%? If not, why not? If so, would the voters vote on it, and would he bring it before council.

Thx. ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2014 10:19:09 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5912&PID=44135&title=have-questions-for-doug-atkins#44135 Have Questions for Doug Atkins? : Well it will be interesting to... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5912&PID=44134&title=have-questions-for-doug-atkins#44134 Author: over the hill

Well it will be interesting to see what city leaders will agree and what city leaders will decline. ]]> Tue, 09 Dec 2014 10:16:49 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5912&PID=44134&title=have-questions-for-doug-atkins#44134 Have Questions for Doug Atkins? : KyleI would also like these interviews... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5912&PID=44133&title=have-questions-for-doug-atkins#44133 Author: Vivian Moon

Kyle
I would like to read a copy of the 200 page booklet that Mr. Adkins presented to City Council when he was interviewed to be City Manager about his future plans for Middletown.
Please request that he place a copy of this booklet on the city web site.
Thank you

Hey Everyone,

My name is Kyle Bohannon. I was born and raised in this town, moved away for college and work afterwards, but this past summer, my fiancé and I decided to 'Buy In' to Middletown.

I come back with a great desire to help Middletown move forward in a positive way that creates a community in which we are proud of.

However, when considering the current state of the city, the events that have taken place in the past, as well as the rowing unrest with city leadership, I find one area that is lacking is communication between the city leaders and the citizens.

In order to move forward as a city, we must work together to bring the city up as a whole, with the best interests of all in mind. 

To aid in this matter, recently, I approached city leadership proposing the creation of a monthly interview program that I would host through Youtube. 

The objective is to, each month, sit down with one member of City Leadership, and bring to them questions you the citizens have for them.

Doug Atkins was the first to get back in touch with me and has agreed to an interview, and I feel that he is also the perfect person for the first interview, given his new position.

So, If you have questions for Doug, please post them here.

Thanks and Best Wishes,

Kyle Bohannon
