You know a levy is coming for a water line project no doubt.

 

Either a levy or the city will demand the residents fix it.

Support, that is just 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, it all comes out of the Citizens pocket, we already have high water rates, in my opinion. 

Support is right funds for Water Pipe replacement or upgrading should come from the Water & Sewer fund.  Is there any plan in place to start replacing the aged water pipe system or is it just going to be more band-aids as they break?  Infrastructure fund which needs to be re-instated should go to Roads. Vet every dollar in the General fund is bascially spent already.  That would mean cuts need to be made.....I'll get my axe out.

Pac- don't know if every dollar in the General Fund has been spent already or not. We have had evidence, that on numerous times, after the city has cried wolf about a lack of money, a miracle occurs and they suddenly find money from some obscure fund to satisfy the need at the time. This has happened more than once and emphasizes the distrust we all have as to the money handling/transfers/mysterious movements the finance department has demonstrated in the past. I know that Mike,even though an old fart, with his sharp memory and recall intellect, can cite past examples.   

Vet I remember those discussions.  Now back in what was it 1987 or there abouts the city was putting what about $850K into the Infrastructure Fund.  Here we are 23 years later with basically pothole filling maintenance only on most residential roads for the last 23 years.  If you have what about $2.5 Million that you can find for the Infrastructure fund yearly, that would be a start, but I doubt it is there.  Just my opinion now.  This amount would have to be achieved either through a Levy or serious cuts and I ain't voting for no levy at this time.   Now you may  be able to get to that figure with cuts and playing the game of which account is the money in now.....don't know.

Spider....... Sure they will!
