The proposal for replacing the fields at the Middle School is outlined below in the budget estimates now have costs exceeding 22 Million and borrowing that will take 25 years to pay off!
The turf will need to be replaced before we even finish paying off the debt!
There is no mention of how we will fund the additional annual maintenance costs. We are already over budget in 2024 and this is expected to continue into 2027. Our community doesn't have funds to maintain the roads or properly to maintain the existing recreational facilities. We budget for the capital items but not the costs to properly maintain these items.
How much will it cost in annual utilities, regular maintenance and capital maintenance before it's even paid off?
