To the Town Board and Town of Webb Community:
ITo start off I would like to speak to the Board. Doing the budget exercise, as you all know, is very stressful, time consuming and tiring.
In the end I believe that with our emotions having some moments, as a board we did a very reasonable job in making this budget.
To speak to the public, I would like to say a couple of things.
There are a few questions that are always asked of the Board: Did the Board get a raise? And, did you agree with that?
Yes, I do believe that the Board deserves a raise. This is a very serious position that comes with a lot of responsibility and we meet frequently to cover so many of the town issues.
Another question is: Are you happy with the budget?
It frustrates me going through the budget process when we have some large increases like worker’s comp and health insurancebut still have to abide by the two percent cap.
Will all of our efforts I believe we have a very workable budget.
As for Supervisor Reihle I think for his first budget he did all of the training to understand everything involved, and he is very knowledgeable about the process. Good job, Ted.
Thanks for your time, and have a Happy Thanksgiving,
Councilman Mike Ross, Town of Webb
The above letter was read by Supervisor Ted Riehle on Councilman Ross’s behalf. Ross was vacationing with his family and not able to attend last Tuesday’s meeting of the Town Board.
