Joe:
I think you are correct when you say that there is no money in the budget for the yet to be approved firehouse. That said, Ocean Pines has generated over $6 Million Dollars of surplus to budget over the past 5 years which I suspect a great deal is in a slush fund for a not yet approved firehouse. ”I suspect it will be approved by an overwhelming vote” If the final price and plans are reasonable for our “needs” I agree. However, if this project turns into another over priced “wants” like OPA is famous for then probably not. Marty |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Ken: You have just put your finger on the underlying issue. Talk about the cart before the horse, wouldn’t you think we would have the required referendum vote first before we collect the money? I think that is called a “slush fund”? The upcoming fiscal year budget does not include funding based on approval of a referendum for a new firehouse - to the best of my knowledge. I believe Ken was just talking in generalities, not specifics with regard to any additional assessment increase, assuming the FD referendum is approved. I suspect it will be approved by an overwhelming vote. |
