One way the city managed to meet the budget, in addition to not replacing the retirees, was to have sanitation consolidate its maintenance with the city?’s maintenance facility, instead of having their own.

Regarding the vacated Riviera Middle School building, Dudley said that it would be up to citizens to complain when the building begins to deteriorate. Todd Yost is the contact person for that.

It was seconded. Cameron agreed to draft the letter. These funds are already earmarked for the Jai Alai court project.
