Surprising good news in this years budget

This year the Trustees and Mayor finally budgeted for Pond Maintenance!  That is right, we are finally getting these green pits cleaned!  Cost for budget item?  $60K.

They also budgeted better for snow removal!  Yippee!
Personnel costs         Cul-de-sac additional
2009 - $49K            $87K
2010 - $74K            $75K
2011 - $80K            $100K

Cost of rock salt from last year to this year?  $325K to $450K.

So those who felt your courts did not get plowed, you were probably right  It was lowered in last years budget cuts!

  1. The courts would get plowed quicker if they hadnt have laid so many people off! The public expects the same amount of work but doesn't take into consideration that there are way less plow drivers! SO the courts go to contractors who do a have assed job rather than the employees that live there.
