In one scenario, Slutzky said $4.2 million could be raised annually with a 5 cent tax (per $100 assessed property value) on a service district covering all urban commercial property. In a second scenario, if urban residential and rural commercial property was included in the district, Slutzky said $8.2 million could be generated annually." Funny how Gary O'Connell, Aubrey Watts (Director of Economic Development) and Craig Brown (city attorney) all counseled Council several years ago that there were other alternatives to forming an authority in order to accomplish their goals but were totally ignored. Nobody on Council had enough sense to ask what the other alternatives are. We already have a water and sewer authority, a solid waste authority and a jail authority suching the money out of our local pockets and the dodos are rushing along the road of a transportation authority. At least we got that Tibetan issue straightened out. Oh, well, our work is never done!
