No, the city is not 'earning' $5 million dollars. The city doesn't earn anything. It takes money from its citizens. The $5 million is for the Winetopia dumpster fire RB Rubber property. If the citizens had not thrown a fit, I have a feeling that right about now, we would be giving that property away for free in exchange for an overpriced wine hotel.

Why does the city continue to pay for one-time events (sewer upgrades or expansions) by pushing permanent recurring fees/taxes/SDC? The city will try again to get us to pass a $100 million bond for a swimming pool, but $300 million for city sewer upgrades and repairs is a bridge too far?

This planning is necessary to ensure that our wastewater system services are operated and maintained such that the wastewater discharged from our homes and businesses is carried via the piping/pumping system to the treatment plant rather than backing up into our homes and businesses. These facilities cost money and we need to have plans in place to prioritize the needed improvements. Thanks to our staff and their consultants for their good work. It is our responsibility as utility users to pay for the improvements.
