Council Minutes of 04-05-2016 entrusted by our residents with money that represents a lifetime of their hard work. Eighty one million dollars over 34 years —enormously huge! Don't waste it and I would expect strong results from our investment. I would also like to state that I do not believe we need all of the costly add-ons. Some schools excel in extra-curricular activities and sports and don't even have a home stadium to call their own. They use other facilities. We need to keep the primary focus on providing our children with the best and most solid education for the security of their future and will hold you to that standard. Extras are important and have their place but are not the nuts and bolts of success for our children. I have heard from residents that you no longer keep sports memorabilia from the earliest and some of the most notable of accolades in our trophy cases and on our premises. Since you were presented with the funds for your new sports complex and performing arts center, I would hope that you restore those items to their place of honor and instill in our children the heritage and pride of the past that is what now has provided the opportunities they have for their future. Respect for those residents is imperative and expected. I think you can find room in the massive structures that are being built. Finally, I would like to thank all of the residents for taking the time to speak with me and for all of the politeness during those discussions. I truly do appreciate that. I continue to be available for further discussion regarding my position and would like to pursue discussions with some of the residents who expressed concern for their property values. Thank you.
