I see that the City is declaring a significant budget shortfall a week after it was announced that the City intends to spend over $3 Million on the Crestview Hotel. Was that in the budget, or will other programs be cut to pay for the Crestview decision?

I hope that the city will examine its largest expenditures first and make cuts there. Rather than closing down small programs and projects.

@blewis245 - should the County decide to acquire the hotel, the City would contribute Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds, which are federal funds for capital projects benefiting low-income communities. The staff report is available here: tinyurl.com/2gtfhtba
The money would not come from the general fund, and it would have no impact on the status of the budget.

What did they do with all the money they got from Google, and all the apartment developers. They should be in a surplus, not a deficit.

Perhaps Council should reconsider spending $1 Million on RV signage.
