   It’s a tough to hear that repairing the boardwalk is “too expensive” while I’m sitting here filling out an appeal for my property tax assessment for the second year in a row because it’s a 60% increase in assessed value from the previous year. In trying to find comps, in looks like the increase in property taxes from half of my street alone would cover the repair of the boardwalks. Maybe we should get a petition going.

      Would you take the appraisal value and move on? That’s usually my thought process.

   One of the very few times I’ve agreed with what’s his name. Yes, $200k is a lot of money, but it isn’t going to get any cheaper. Were an upscale community that needs to maintain that status. I’m happily surprised our Mayor supported repair – I didn’t expect that. Is there some sort of structure that can be insured after trees are cut back and repairs made? The current decision by the council is short-sighted, as it seems with many of their decisions during their tenure.

   I agree with Mr. Brown that Eagle Scout projects are important, and that the nature walk is a very nice area. I just personally feel that $200k, what I understand the bill would be to repair, is excessive for the city to pay at this time. Maybe there could be some private funds raised.
   $200k will go a long way for more cart path security (much needed IMHO) and other projects that more citizens use.
