City councilman pushes bus refinancing and study plan
City councilman Jack Alexander says efforts seek an arrangement to refinance buses operated by transit owner Robert Hayden. The council placed bus records under city controller supervision Feb 10, but further cost cuts are needed. Without changes the subsidy next year could near 50 000, unlikely to be approved. If refinancing fails, administration may seek Madison County Council of Governments technical help to restructure routes serving only city needs. A COG study could take six months and guide recommendations. Alexander may send a subcommittee to Friday’s COG meeting to probe study options and potential outcomes.
