We have to take care of the children in our community and everyone has to pitch in to do that. The kids need our dollars. I open La Petite at night so the Cub Scouts have a place to meet. I have 100 kids at the academy and many of them are on waiting list for activities. It is hard to tell them there is no room for them.
Families ask about the recreational facilities and schools.
We are working on a charter school and we need to work on recreation. None of us want to pay higher taxes but improved recreational facilities will improve our property values and our quality of life. I'm confused as to what is being proposed. This is based on estimated costs. The City will have to do bids to get exact costs.
