Section 5: OPA Board Subject: OPA Food Truck Msg# 940234

Why do we, the Ocean Pines membership, always focus on the minutia? A new food truck at $55,000 is equal to approximately $6.51 of the proposed assessment in the 2016-2017 budget. Peanuts. Silly yes, but peanuts when compared to the real problems. The 8th year of the slush fund in the amount of $1,233,992.00 cost each and every one of us $146.00 in our assessment. I have not heard one peep about the proposed $261,024.00 increase in payroll, or $30.88 from each of us. That increase is a budget to budget increase and is really well over a $320,000.00 increase from last year's actual payroll. That is almost $38.00 from each of us. Not a peep. There is $75,000.00 in the proposed budget to study a new police station, but not one dime to fix the 43 year old and completely failed HVAC system at our long neglected Country Club.
Wow! Very true, Marty. The food truck is chump change. But Joe likes to rile the folks up over inconsequentials. 75K to study a new police station? Would you like to bet the study says we need a new one? We not only don't need a new station we don't need a police department. Off the top of my head, I think the OPPD is costing us 1.5 mil and is growing like a tape worm as all bureaucracies tend to do. Now they want a new building. Why not lease the old Happy Harry's? It's a central location and vacant and would get the building off the balance sheet. Have you seen the gussied up Explorers (starting MSRP for 2 WD $34K) our heroic arresters of geezers driving home from Taylors use as their sleep sofas on the midnight shift? But we are supposed to go ballistic over 5K in furniture for the YC. |
