With the 2010 Fiscal year coming to a close, the Gateway Services District Board of Supervisors, under the direction of Bob Nielson and Bill Knight have over-spent in two line items that would result in any "ordinary manager" getting fired. However, in a government, taxpayer-funded environment, the G.S.D. continues to get away with runaway spending and poor budgeting. It's time for change. It's time for fiscal conservatism.
In 2010, on the recommendation of staff, the Board of Supervisors, approved an engineering budget of $18,296. So far, your elected officials and the staff we pay huge amounts of money, have spent over $71,000 to engineers. That's a budget miss of 289%. Imagine if you did that at your job.
On the attorney side, with a budget of $28,000 the G.S.D. has spent almost $50,000. That's a miss of 77%. I guess you could like at that one as pretty good when you compare it to the engineering miss.

Time for a change of faces in the Administration of the CDD, especially the operations manager. The mighty $$ or BUCK must stop somewhere and the bleeding of funds must be stopped.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the letter above, just hope this board will realize they can and should have a meeting without an attorney sitting there taking our money. We have an attorney on board now and he should be able to answer most of the questions and if not write them down and only pay the attorney for that question, not sitting there all night...
