From last night’s City Council meeting:

Ken Lanfear, director of Public Works, asked for $12,250 from the city’s Real Estate Excise Tax Fund for airport lighting; this represents 2.5 percent of the total cost of the lighting, which is almost $500,000. The remaining 97.5 percent is to be paid for by state and federal grants. The motion passed 6-1 (Dave Creighton opposed).

Lanfear also requested $7,950 for weed control. It, too, comes with a grant, this one of $42,500. The motion passed.

One Response to “Public Works projects”

If the airport lighting project only cost $12,250, and there were no matching funds, would the city council and mayor be so quick to spend the money?
