Expenses You Won't Hear Talked About

Reading throught the Recreation Meeting Minutes from March 9 which were just posted online, I thought many of you might be interested in a few bits of information.

Excerpts from the minutes are:

"presented our 2010 budget to the city with no response or any mention of the $50,000 debt.  We need the first installment of subsidy ($25,000) by June."
Does this mean the city owes $50,000 for something?

When contacted about using fenced storage space for the 4th, Maze lumber answered "no".  We will need to use the street for family activities.(July 4)
Maybe the family activities do not need to be on Water St. What do you think?

Fireworks: We can expect $20,000 from the City and $18,000 to 20,000 from the CSO
And where is this money coming from to pay for Fireworks?  Would you understand if the City said No to the big bash and made it a small one with just what the CSO provided in the way of funding?

Pool - At present the date is as set, rain date for June 11.
Attended the meeting with Williams Aquatics today and if I get any minutes, they will be posted along with personal observatons.

I seem to recall that $50,000 being mentioned not too long ago. For some reason I thought it was regarding salaries. Might be worth looking into!!
