Good Continued

Draft Minutes, Infrastructure Committee Meeting


Need for Accurate Construction Specs:
  • "we may simply have to re-stake, rather than re-survey"
Design Issues:
  • "There was a question as to why the "compass rose" logo incorporated only a "W" and not "WL" for Weatherby Lake.  The design team felt that a "WL" was too "busy" and that the background compass sufficiently suggested the "lake" in the theme.  However, Scott agreed to ask his designer to create an option that includes W and L."
  • "The recommendation is to construct Eastside/City Hall and Hillside first and to construct Kerns and Childress last."  
Landscaping:
  • "Kristopher ...estimated maintenance costs for Eastside/City Hall landscape plan would be $6,000-$8,000 a year for the first few years."
  • "Kristopher recommended adding $50,000 to budget for maintenance on all entrances"
Bidding:
  • "George will do site prep, footing, electrical and irrigation."
Total Projected Costs for all 8 Entrances
  • "See Estimates.  The cost from the estimates for for Eastside/City Hall and Hillside entrances can be projected to determine estimated costs for all entrances.  There was no discussion due to time constraints."
Although the document refers to "Estimates" a number of times, there were no attachments or pages that addressed "Estimates".

You know, this whole project is simply a way for the more affluent to find a tax shelter through municipal donations. They are simply dumping big money for the tax write-off.

Needing potentially almost $10K a year OF MY TAX MONEY for maintenance for ONE entrance is unacceptable! Without giving the community a clear understanding of costs, it's misappropriation of funds as far as I'm concerned.
