Water Fund-Preserved and Restored

I would like to thank you, the voters, the City Council and especially Rosie Garner for actions taken to restore and protect the Water and Sewer Utility Fund.
-
As the author of the ballot initiative creating the Fund, I was pleased immensely with your overwhelming passage of the citizen initiative. You know what is right for our City when asked. Thank You!
-
When the affidavit for the initiative was presented to the City Council, the majority led by current Mayor Pro-Tem, Rick Lindsey, agreed to submit the initiative to you without forcing us to gather a considerable number of signatures. The Council minority, on this issue, is also to be thanked for not campaigning against the ballot issue.
-
A special thank you goes to Ward Four Councilmember, Rosie Garner, for recently initiating and advocating a resolution that paid the Fund back, in full, for the money that had been previously used to purchase land in the vicinity of the recreation center. Through the efforts of many Members the resolution restoring the money was passed unanimously. Thank You!
