Linear Park

It is interesting to note that Phase I of the Linear Park will only cost us 30k of the total of 538k. Does anybody know how much Phases II and III will cost us? If a large majority of the remaining 1.07 will be paid from CITT funds it could be a good thing to have a fishing pier, boat ramp, and picnic area. All nice things to have, but certainly NOT necessities at this difficult point in time. Does a matching grant mean we will have to match the half miilion to make up the enire million-plus? Predictably, the Gazette headline was misleading in that it focused on the tax bill drop and gave short shrift to the fact that the Council raised our fees significantly AND our millage rate. The increase in fees and millage rates was prdicted long ago, and it has come to pass. What are the chances of continuous and considerable cost overruns and change orders on THIS project? Council has never run into a project they couldnt mismanage and misapproriate up to AT LEAST triple the usual and customary costs!!!!!
