Soap Lake suspends search for city administrator

SOAP LAKE - At the Nov. 16 city council meeting, the mayor of Soap Lake announced that she was stopping her search for a permanent city administrator. “After looking at our budget, a proposed budget for 2023, I cannot in good conscience recommend a city administrator at this time,” said Soap Lake Mayor Michelle Agliano in the meeting. In an interview after the meeting, Agliano said she is trying to be a fiscally responsible mayor and felt that there was no room in the budget for 2023 to hire a full-time city administrator. She said the funds would be better used to pay off some of the loans or debts the city has. That move, she said, would put Soap Lake in better financial standing...

Othello mayor discusses city budget

GUEST EDITORIAL

OTHELLO — I would like to take this opportunity to add balance and clarification to the “tabloid” style of journalism of the Othello Outlook and in particular, the editorial, “Raise Your Hand” in the December 3 issue. The focus of the editorial is the 2010 budget for the City of Othello. Mr. La Fontaine discusses what he would do with $18 million. The City Council is entrusted with the taxpayers’ monies, not Mr. La Fontaine. The tax dollars the Council is entrusted with, come from many sources; the two most prominent ones are property tax and sales tax, which was omitted from the editorial. The City Council is under a sworn oath to adopt a balanced budget; Mr. La Fontaine is not. So if Mr. La Fontaine has $18 million, he could spend it on big screen TVs as he suggests. The high dollar figure of the budget is the sum total of monies entrusted to the City for reinvesting in the community, and includes enterprise funds such as water/sewer, not just the operating budget. Personally, I am excited that we currently have the monies in the budget to make improvements to our community – and yes, we are growing and are improving City services, an option other cities do not currently have.

Quincy city budget includes money for street revisions, indoor activity center

QUINCY— The city of Quincy will spend about $86 million in 2023. Quincy City Council members voted unanimously to approve the 2023 budget at the Dec. 20 council meeting. The budget includes a general fund of about $21.6 million. Most of the money for employee salaries and many city operations, like most parks and recreation and the Quincy Police Department, comes out of the general fund. The city has about $12 million in a separate fund to build a new indoor sports complex. City Administrator Pat Haley said in a separate interview that the project has been in the works for a while. “We still have the fieldhouse on the drawing board and we’re looking at funding sources for that,” Haley said. “We have been putting that money aside to do something.” Council members voted in November to look for funding for the rest of the project. Estimated total cost is about $23 million, which includes some provisions for inflation. Haley said he doesn’t expect construction to start in 2023.
