The other great response has been to the lower water / sewer rates. A
little for some, a lot for others. But, everyone gets some relief. I
had one person who asked how we would pay for it. Diane said in budget
of 2007 that we didn't really need the increase of the $3.00, so I
figured we were okay then. Then, with the City Admin position going
part time, that pays for more. Plus, they have $100,000.00 to pave a
parking lot, so lets put that money away. If they turn in the water
cooler, that's $360.00 a year. Then with that unplugged, and then
unplug the pop machine, that's some more savings. Then, hey, let's
turn down those heaters during non-use - more savings. Plus, with City
Hall only open 4 days a week, that's more savings. Who else can think
of more to cut?
