SUGGESTIONS FOR SEWER FINANCES

$3 MILLION-- A ONE TIME PAYMENT TO SEWERS

Apply the anticipated $3 million of the Jail Bond Reserve Fund to the sewer utility.
------

$1 MILLION ANNUALLY FOR 17 OR 20 YEARS

Pledge $1 million or more Edit Fund annually for 17 or 20 years to the Sewer Utility. These are funds that the city has not had in hand because the $1 million was paid to the Jail Bond before the city received Edit Funds.
------

$384,554. TO THE STREET DEPARTMENT

If the Jail Bond Reserve is $3,384,554 as it has been reported. Then, direct the $384,554.. To the Street Department to help their Deficit.

------

NO SEWER RATE INCREASES


Freedom Of Speech is aware that Councilman Schmidt distributed his suggested plan for Sewer Fund Financing to each of the City Council Members over the weekend.

A Council Member has shared the Sewer Financing plan suggested by Councilman Schmidt with Freedom Of Speech.

As you read this suggested plan, please note the bottom line:

"NO SEWER RATE INCREASES"

Freedom Of Speech is quite sure that other Council Members have suggestions to offer.

Freedom Of Speech welcomes, and will post those plans.

The Mayor's only solution is to raise our Sewer Bills and "SCREW" us taxpayers again!
