If everything’s a priority, then nothing is a priority….and according to Mayor Mel Norton, this common council knows exactly what it wants to accomplish.
He tells CHSJ News common council has boiled down the information from ward meetings and brainstorming sessions to six main issues, outlined in a booklet soon to be released to the taxpayers. The spotlight is on the pension plan, roads, water, recreation, and economic development as the major issues to be solved.
With budget deliberations soon gearing up, Norton says the public shouldn’t expect to be thrown any curve balls on where the largest envelopes will go. Once the final draft is approved you can look it over on the city’s website.
