$ 57,000.00 Electric Signs: Bad Budget Decision.

The first message on the new Electronic Signs should be:

All I got for my Taxes is this STUPID SIGN.
and A Giant Debt

The City Council Needs to trim over 400,000 in the next 4 months. Here is where to start:

City Manager's Compensation 30 Percent:
All Department Heads 25 Percent
All Stipends and Allowances to City Council Members Reduced to 1.00
Any City Employee Earning more than 80,000.00 per year Reduction 15 Percent
No More Paying the Medical Co-Pay of Council Members and Employees who earn above 80,000.00

Sell the City Owned Property and Call in Loans made to Employees and Former Employees.

Do not cut the city workers who are earning less than 50,000.00 year.

How to earn some income?

Open all City Owned Fields to Agriculture Use on a 3 year Lease for a buck a year plus 10 percent of the gross.

Provide Banking Services at cost for All Households to have a Home based Business. This would insure collection of sales taxes. All homes are pre approved for a business. Allow clients and deliveries to Home based businesses to 1 delivery and 10 clients per day. (Day care operations often have 8 to 10 children).

Thank you Mrs Adams for showing the Council what Schwab / Berry left you with. Please step up to the responsibility by first taking a reduction in your contract compensation.
