City budget and parks

[Mike & Marcia Harmening]

Tomorrow night is the last opportunity to comment on the currently
proposed city budget. The Assembly had a work session last Friday
where $200,000 pool operation funding was added by Traini and Tesche.
Assembly Chair Coffey then passed out a resolution from the Assembly
appointed Budget and Finance Committee which suggested reducing the
entire city budget to approximately the 2007 level of funding - this
would be a cut of $905,572 to the Parks and Recreation budget. I've
attached copies of two documents; one is the BFC resolution and one
is the response from Jeff Dillon detailing the budget impacts.

Please pass this info along quickly. If you can make it to the
assembly meeting, your voice would be appreciated. Last week, public
testimony did not start until after 7:30 PM

Dear pool people,

I wanted to make some calls to Assembly members today. I can't make it to
the meeting and I already sent an email to all 11 members. I have heard
that one phone call is worth a dozen emails. Does anyone know how best to
do go about this? I see a lot of "home" numbers listed on the Assembly
website. Should I call them at home?

Go for it!! Most don't have an office phone number. Many carry their cell
phones and take calls gladly. Thanks for making your voice for pools heard.

[Mike & Marcia Harmening]

Dear Pool People,
Feel free to call Assembly members at their home numbers. Most do not have
offices to call. You might NOT want to call Dan Sullivan, however, out of
respect for his mother dying the other day. Send him an e-mail that he can
read at a time convenient for him instead.
Thanks, Marcia

Elke,
If they listed their home numbers, then feel free to call that number.
Most will have large capacity message machines, so leave a message - you
probably won't get the person.
