Well its about time for an update. We are in our third month as a new council and things are moving along. We had a couple of glitches with the big dumps of snow but seems that is over with until this winter comes. Thanks for all your patience.
We have finished our preliminary budget discussions and will finish them off when year end is completed later this month.
With the winter we are having our roads are in dire straights. We have given early approval for the purchase of a new asphalt patcher as well as rearranged some of the street repairs and have given early approval for our recapping program so we can try to save those streets that can get away with a cap rather than an entire rebuild. There are some that need rebuilding anyway so have reset the priorities to save as many as we can.
The economic development corporation should be up and running by the end of this month or early next so look forward to some good ideas frome them.
All in all we will come in with a zero increase in tax rates and not borrow to get our capital work done.
