<br /> Dear Ma';.'or a.nd CounGiI:
<br /> Subj.: Public \Nort:s facility
<br /> Following the defeat of the proposed public 'vVork fiJ.cili~1 proposal in the recent election
<br /> I 'h-:;>Ijld like b:- pass on some thou~.;lh~3 regarding tile failure c,fthis propc'saI3.s "Nell as
<br /> offer a possiblB- aiterna.tivB- for youto con:o:der.
<br /> First, let me tell ~/ou my famil~1 and I have nothing t'utthe highest of praise fQr;3.11 ofJ'ou
<br /> who are "villin9 to seN;;';> our .t'i1la.g;;,;> -- mayor, council.. 8,ppointed officials, and full time
<br /> staff, Having lived in the village for thirt;~-four ,'ears and no"/\'"eeing ourson and his
<br /> ram i1y move in ~) the cornrnu ni!:'1' makes me a II the rnore apprec iatiw, of past and
<br /> present Yillage government.
<br /> . I 'toted againstth(; much nE>",ded proposal :3.nd",ncouraged my famil~1 to do the samE>
<br /> onl~' because I feel most slrongly that tlie $2.8 million was absolutely outof sight as a
<br /> put,lie: ',vorks fae:i!it;l. I am e:onyinced 'I',"€' are getting 'r'!<l.nts and needs mixed up. It
<br /> se(;ms the cost comparisons people make are in relation to c,therslructures built by
<br /> m u nicipa Iities :3.nd other gO'l€-rnme nt a9" ncies.
<br /> In one of the !')c0l.1 papers I sa'.(.( 01. dro:Ning of the proposed building. For the space you
<br /> are 'f!<l.nting to buy tha.t is too much money! 'vV",: ne",:d a. buildin9 and we probabl~t need
<br /> it worse th3, nan,' other body in the State. I agree. However, therE> are altE>mati'-ie~: a, nd
<br /> we sMUk] not look to oU-,,,,r tnunicipa.litie'3 ~~, see hoy'" trt"')' hOl.'.'e '1'I:3.3te,] mone,'.
