Council flags water system as top budget priority, notes $34,000 line item
Summary
Councilors discussed the town's water plan, citing a proposed $34,000 "Water Department Expense" in the budget and said water system improvements should take precedence over other projects.
Council discussed water infrastructure needs after a staff reference to a prior town survey. Cllr Melinda Jones said she had spoken with Town Manager Gonzalez and that ARPA obligations and engineer feedback will appear on the September agenda.
Cllr Lee Deaderick called water planning the town's most important issue and noted the proposed line item "Water Department Expense" is $34,000. Cllr Medeiros suggested exploring funding from Tallahassee instead of allocating funds for a new town hall.
