The city did not need an economic developer, and economic development department. Money wasted! However, we have it, so we are stuck with it, and now the one who pushed so hard for it, is gone to greener pastures...We don't even need a CRA director either! Stop dreaming up needs for forensic audits for political revenge! I almost fell out when I heard the cost for a pool design, $200,000, is what I heard, and then the actual cost of the pool to be constructed, which I didn't hear, but one member of the public guessing maybe a million dollars....I don't think so! Oh, and the cost quoted to redo the roof on the old packing house on Lust Road, over a million...OMG! Don't go there! A pool would be nice, but will we, the public, who will pay for it, ever get to use it, or will it be mostly for the school students, or camping kids? Sorry, but I couldn't care less, if it needs to be built to accommodate water polo which needs a newer deeper pool!!! Let Orange County build the school kids a pool! You all need to donate your discretionary funds back to the general funds. Get a grip on all the stopped meters, back off the history museum improvements, just the needed log replacements, and stop voting (all of you all) to giving back impact fees to developers! There's lots more, but that would be a great start! The finance director suggested CUTS! I can't believe Commissioner Smith wants to hire a company to come in and clean inside the fire stations! Why? The fire personnel are always present! Also, I can't believe they are now going to hire a company to check the fire hydrants and flush them, instead of like traditionally, our firemen doing that to check them. I'm not certain, at this time, of pouring money into the Main Street program, is a great idea either, if we have more important needs that are " got to haves" such as fire trucks, ambulances, etc. We don't need the gazebo in the city cemetery, if that is the price either! What was it, a $ 150,000? I can't see that kind of need for that amount of money.
