It's Your Money!By Peter AmundsonCandidate for Member, City Council; City of Arcadia | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
Peter Amundson believes that tax money is your money and should be spent wisely.It's Your Money I know the funds we receive come from hard working taxpayers. I am the President of my own company and I know how challenging this economy has been. I understand how careful we need to be with every dollar. I don't vote for tax increases and I will make every dollar spent by the city accountable to the citizens. I am an independent decision maker. I have no problem asking tough questions of the staff, department heads or the City Manager. Here is an email I received about the citywide landscape maintenance bid in 2007. "Thank you so much, for requesting a competitive {sic} bid process. Your simple request has saved the city $46,493.00/year. Mariposa's price was $519,521.00/year and CLS's price was $481,160.00/year. CLS dropped their price from $527,521.00 to $481,160.00, a savings of $46,493.00." Up coming issues face Arcadia. We know that that times are tough. Reserves are for emergencies and not for ongoing expenses. There are unfunded liabilities from previous councils for staff benefits; we need to start setting resources aside to fund this debt |
