Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council <br />Monday, September 17, 2012 <br />Page 13 <br />One thing I want to point out for everyone is that you will note that this year our expenditures are <br />higher than last year and the primary reason is, and Ron lists a few of them, but I think that it's <br />important for the community to recognize that we have really endeavored to look at capital <br />projects on a pretty aggressive way so even though, for example, Mrs. Murphy brought up a <br />request regarding a road improvement in her neighborhood and it's something we look at <br />seriously, I think we can say candidly we have gotten to a point where we feel much more <br />comfortable on tracking on a year in year out basis major projects such as these and then also a <br />lot of miscellaneous other projects, between Drainage and Infrastructure Committee and different <br />organizations. We had thought we were going to make improvements, for example, up to the <br />ballfields. That had to be shelved for this year, but that will be back on the table again in the <br />Spring I expect. <br />So I think we have really been able to demonstrate that we have a pretty good specrium of capital <br />improvements. These are ways that we feel that we are using our revenues wisely reinvesting in <br />the community. I think any questions that people have, certainly raise them with Council, you <br />can raise them with us. If we don't answer them, we definitely need to follow up. But I feel <br />really quite buoyed by the fact that we are still showing on a month to month basis a net increase <br />in revenues that we are able to store away, reduce our debt and still make sure that we are taking <br />care of these kinds of capital improvements. It's a nice pace that we really want to try to <br />maintain. <br />Council President Pro Tem IViarrie thanked Mayor Rinlcer. Does anyone else have any <br />comments? There were none. <br />ADJOURNMENT <br />Mrs. Mills, seconded by Mrs. Cinco, made a motion to adjourn. <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m. The next Council meeting is scheduled for Monday, <br />October 15, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. <br />WILLIAM BUCKHOLTZ, COUNCIL <br />BRUCE G. <br />y ?. <br />, <br />MARY BETSA, CLERK OF COUNCIL
