Vice-Mayor Steve Critzer commented on the Town’s financial support for tourism. He noted that the Tbwn spend $4,000 last year for a brochure, it paid to have the kiosk built, and it financially supports the Fourth of July celebration. “The Tbwn does quite a bit to promote tourism,” he said.
After the close of the public hearing, Council member Reinhardt Lynch commented on funds set aside for the water works. He said that he was pleased that the Town was going to construct a new reservoir, but he took exception to the plan to finance the reservoir “entirely by cash.”
Mr. Lynch noted the following problems with that approach: it gives an unrealistic view of the cost of running a system; obtaining a low-cost loan for the reservoir would be simple, while it would be difficult to get a similar loan for a wastewater treatment system; and the budgeted funds for the water works reserves takes away money for a wastewater treatment system.
“Only $10,000 of the $200,000 budget goes into wastewater,” Mr. Lynch said, “ . . . and the B & B’s pay $190,000 in taxes. I think that the B & B’s believe that wastewater is most important.”
Council member Charlie Tompkins agreed with Mr. Lynch
