Storm Drain Fees > Rexroad.com

My family voted in favor of the increase for storm drain fees.

Today in the Democrat Dudley Holman with the Taxpayers Association and the Jim Smith in an editorial make the case in favor of the increase.

Meanwhile, Ed Hernandez continues to be against everything -- and does not even understand it.

These are enterprise funds. The only way to put it in the black is to raise the fees. If you have a problem with the fee increase you have to show that the work plan is not acceptable. The fee is set to finish the plan that is presented for the fund. This same issue also confused Councilman Jeff Monroe after more than five years on the City Council with the MPFP.

Instead of digging in the details and pointing to real potential changes some people are simply using confusing terms to describe the situation. If it does not pass we will still be in the red and it will remain that way until the fees are paid.

See my concerns about the Storm Drain proposal below (under the topic City Loans). Despite my pleas to vote yes, my wife convinced me to vote no. (Just kidding, we were both on the same page on this one... that would be NO). Dino

What did you think of the City booth at the fair? I thought it was a little lame. The City of Woodland booth should be more set up to get kids and seniors involved in Parks and Rec and maybe a little education about the city itself. Not just a propoganda tool. How many people at the fair are:

1. Homeowners that can actually vote.
2. From Woodland and actually care.

I just thought it was a little lame.

What's your take?

I voted no, because the vast gap from current fee to the next level fee didn't pass the smell test. Sorry Matt.
