Funding, Funding, Who has the Funding?

The Wing Point Way reconstruction is still in the Capital Facilities Plan for 2008/2009. However, Councilman Toolooe questioned how the $866K grant was procured for Wing Point Way when other streets were just as deserving. He asked for an explanation at the next Council Meeting, September 26.

The CFP goes to the 3rd Reading at the September 26th meeting and the City staff has their marching orders to revamp the plan for deliberation by the Council. The CFP still has a whopping $90M price-tag with a lot of debt. Public comment ended with last night’s 2nd reading.

During last night’s public comment one of our neighbors appealed for ear-marking $50K for the Hawley trail connection, but it did not get a motion. It was apparent from the Council comments directed to the citizens requesting for $300K in soccer field reconstruction, the Council wants the Parks Department to step up to funding park improvements. Even so, the CFP funding of the $300K was approved for the soccer fields.
