Century Park moves forward

At the October 7th Council Meeting, the City Council approved an expenditure of over $67,000 for the curbing and sidewalk in Century Park. Century Park, formerly known as "Lions Club Park", is located in the 300-500 blocks of North "G" Street.
The expenditure is paid thanks to the Wellington Lions Club and local resident Linda Stewart. The Lions Club has donated $15,000 towards materials, while Stewart has raised nearly $90,000 through donations. The City Street Department has prepared the parking lot base, while the contractor will pour the curbing and lay the sidewalk throughout the park. Once completed, the City Street Department will overlay the parking lot with asphalt. The only cost to the taxpayer is the in-kind work of the Street crews preparing the parking lot base and overlay.
Eventually, a veterans memorial will be placed in the center of the park. Donations are still being sought for that. Those wishing to contribute can contact Jack Potucek.

Auditorium Information Updated

I've added a report to my website that briefly details the process of computing taxes as well as a chart and an explanation of the proposed taxes for both residential and commercial properties for the Auditorium Project.
