Kinley Plans Extra Help at Sewage Plant Hire
Kinley proposes adding one or two part time helpers to operate the sewage plant. He aims to set up a dedicated budget for plant operations, separate from the main city budget, with hours potentially around the clock. The move follows a 1956 budget layout that lacks wages for the plant staff and relies on a lump sum for operation. The legality and official support of the proposal remain questions.
