Town Council Approves Budget Package with Amendment for Hillman Well Project

The budget package, measure 4-85 as amended, was presented for final vote after extensive prior review and public hearings where no public input was received. The amendment to measure 85 addresses an increase in the estimated cost for the Hillman well project from $16 million to $16,752,000, requiring an additional $752,000 to be borrowed. These funds are derived from ratepayer funds and not residential taxpayers, with oversight by an elected board for public works. Measure 081 was withdrawn due to finding an alternative funding source and is actively underway.
