Both of these gentlemen have made an outstanding contribution to the township through the years. |
Frank has been the financial conscious of this township. I served with him on the pension committee. His mind and his way with numbers is extraordinary. That has been a great benefit to this community. |
I don't see this as being in the taxpayer's interest -- going to higher hourly rates and people who are going to be billing us for more hours. Engineering services are a significant portion of our general fund budget. It's over $100,000. And right now I think we're getting a great value for our dollar and good service. I just don't see a reason to change. |
I haven't made up my mind but I see at least two benefits. The township would get a nest egg that could be invested and help us avoid tax increases and maybe help with things like building a new senior citizens center. Also, selling the system to a larger entity allows spreading out the cost of improvements to the system over a larger customer base. |
I'm glad we're getting to the end of this road, finally. This is 98 percent of what we agreed to last July when we first shook hands. |
It was definitely another good year for the golf course. I don't see anything on the horizon that would cause us concern. As long as we continue to provide a good product, I don't see any reason why the people will not continue to come. |
On behalf of the township and the people of this community, thank you so much for your service and your commitment to the community. |
Though, maybe it could be done while we're in the process of selling, if we decide to go ahead with a sale. |
