The Sound Guy Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 It's on a semi-official Paulding county site. I have to wonder if Paulding really needs two different sites for info about the county. Proposed 2012 Budget Happy Reading!! PS. What the heck happened to the Silver Comet Trail that they need this: BID AWARDS: Discuss action to award the repair to the Silver Comet Trail at Weddington Road Project to the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder, Plateau Excavation Inc. in the amount of $1,531,655.80. That's 3/4 ths of the budget shortage there... Link to post Share on other sites

Cathyhelms Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 From what I understand there is a called meeting happening tomorrow morning. Think it's to lower the millage rate?? Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgiaTornado Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) In the 3rd paragraph it says that the millage rate will have to go up. edit to add: "Although the budge has been cut from previous year, as it has the previous two years, the budget can not be balanced with either and increase to millage rate, a substantial transfer from the Fund Balance account, or a combination of the two."

surepip Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 I am not positive, but I believe the repairs to the Silver Comet caused by the floods almost 2 years ago, will be coming out of SPLOST. And, I believe the trail foundation will re-imburse some of it. Link to post Share on other sites
winston1972 Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Cut out events such as Fireworks-- $25-50K Cut down on payments to entities such as IBA ($200+ a year) More furlough days for employees, no employee raises (when was the last time you had one) Explain to me some of the departments have 30-40K vehicles like Explorers that I see employees driving around in? Require every dept to cut off whatever % to make the shortfall!!! Link to post Share on other sites
MamaJess Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 Dear stupid politicians, don't tax me because you blow at maintaining a reasonable budget. I hope everyone remembers this when you vote next. Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgiaTornado Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 1.5 Million for the SCT at weddington road HOPEFULLY is for a grade separation project...aka a ped bridge Link to post Share on other sites
MamaJess Posted June 8, 2011 Report Share Posted June 8, 2011 1.5 Million for the SCT at weddington road HOPEFULLY is for a grade separation project...aka a ped bridge I think the SCT needs more of those things. There are some spots where it is dangerous not just for the people on the SCT but also for drivers when idiots on bicycles jet out without looking. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
