Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. *** Dear Mayor, Council Members and Staff, Writing again today to implore you do not pass the increases as proposed. 30% is too great a burden to implement in January 2024. It seems odd to me that a second look by consultants and staff could suddenly find that only a 12% increase would be needed in 2025. Maybe a 3rd look would find even less increases are necessary. If you are considering the reduced increase in 2025 (from 20%down to 12%) why not start with a 21%increase in 2024 then see what is truly needed in 2025. In addition, I will say again and keep saying it, stop the irresponsible spend on refurbishing a skatepark and century house, move the money that came from ARPA to begin with, back to where it can be used for our water, specifically to help with the new wells needed. That 10.5 million is almost half of what is needed. Do the right thing. Respectfully, Vicki LaBarge 1
