Proposed budget, i have what i hope is a short presentation. So i think that i can talk forever about this budget, but i am want to thank a couple of people, i want to thank our acting finance director gale for all of her wor
And if any project that we should do this and it is a lot of money, but i think that it is money that would be well spent for the community and we will see that, you know, it takes time simply, and that is the frustrating thing about it. But when it does get done. But also to your question, the whole process of these violations that are outstanding, beefing up our Code Enforcement division is helpful because it provides more staff to actually look into these things. And i think that if you look at the budget they have suggested adding people there. Okay. I think that that will help a lot. Because you know, when you take people away from permitting and inspecting it effects those divisions and so focusing really specifically on code endivorcement is really the way to widle down these outstanding violations. In the current year there were two building inspectors added effective january first. They think that we could not fill them until january and that is correct. And we. And the board

Now, on the one hand thats helped people get even more and more in debt and get in bad places, but if youre a sociology major 60,000 in debt and you decide you really dont want to be there, well, theres the Colorado School of minds for you, and go mines for you, and go get a degree in mineral engineering, get out there in north dakota where the average salary has increased by 40 because of the oil and natural gas boom out there. So i think its a tough question. I dont think we should be in the business of forgiving student loan debt. I think theres a personal responsibility element there that is the orthodoxy.
