Budget kudos..

Posted in: PATA


Perhaps it?’s time for the press to read the Council packet PRIOR to the meeting?

Would a more informed story results? ?….. by that I mean more content than the comments of the under prepared.

Wouldn?’t the under prepared be more exposed to the public that way?
Wouldn?’t the story have more depth?

I see some potential in this budget..
?… $900K from impact fees --- offsetting the legal costs of getting out from under the BIA?…. Isn?’t that almost a break even 1st year payback? Wouldn?’t following years give the potential for debt reduction once the burdens of prior deals to developers are handled?

Too bad the Township is slow to understand the concept of shifting the costs from the existing tax base to those creating the debt.

I, for one, have had enough of subsidizing the builders. It?’s time their lust to overbuild our community passed the debt where it belongs.

As to the PLSD, are you guys & gals watching? You could do a thing or two in LEARNING that $900K in impact fees could put your constant funding needs into doable range for all of us, city, township, and others?…..

Or, of course, maybe the 4th time is a charm ?….. (not likely)!

QUESTION?

Do the City's impact fees have to be spent on particular projects or can they be spent anywhere the City choses?
Funds

The monies is allocated to certain funds and has to be spent on those categories, ie parks & rec, police, roads, etc. Can't take money from one account and spend it elsewhere.

Welcome

Obviously you have information privy only to councilmen. Welcome to this forum. You must either be Smith or Jiffy Foxworthless.

Pray tell. What other insider information are you willing to share? Impact fee collection is an estimate. You gotta build em first. Home building is at a 12 year low. Dominion will go under. Others will follow.

Your budget is also an estimate. If you're Jiffy Foxworthless, we can assume you have a list of unplanned expenditures just waiting so you can pay back your political favors. If it is you Smith, we have trepidation you have many favors to pay too. How much will those favors cost the taxpayers?
