The Official Unofficial Minutes of the WL  BOA
January 4

As noted previously, Jerry gleefully gave Alderman Finn a playful poke regarding the cost of recycling in the City for 2010...revenue $1,500-expenses $3,000...He was a bit more matter of fact about the books for the Community Center, revenue $20,357-expenses $27,139, saying the CC was "not as red as you might think".  I agree with Jerry (please note).  The numbers aren't as red as one might think...because the cost basis for calculating the expenses has changed during Jerry's administration making the expense line a bit more rosy.  An example, City employee time spent in maintenance is not captured (any more).  In effect, a freebie to the cost of operation.     

Bloggers comment: My count shows this is post #900-whoda thunk?  Like It or Not So Much...thanks for playing with me.
