Fire station tops goals for city CIP planning panel
Garden City city planning committee numbers the new fire station among 2012 budget priorities. The volunteer CIP panel weighs projects while city management handles costs, with recommendations reviewed by the city manager before City Commission approval. Past CIP-driven work includes upgrades to the Big Pool City Link and Mary Street reconstruction. The committee once approved a $35,000 crematory project for the new city animal shelter, slated to replace an inefficient crematory at 206 Isabel Ave. The shelter will open soon near the Fleming and Fulton intersection, and officials consider future CIP talks on State Theatre use, a teen center, and street upgrades. Garden City Mayor Nancy Harness directs youth involvement through Key Club students meeting with officials. The city’s 2010 budget hovered near $75 million. residents can submit project ideas via Citizen Input Forms in annual utility bill mailings or online.

Cleanup progresses at East Garden Village in Garden City
Auten says East Garden Village is a closed neighborhood with easily defined boundaries ideal for the PACT program while city planners tackle 80 mobile homes in the park. Kaleb Kentner and Matt Allen say 30 to 45 days are needed to identify units to repair or remove, with removal costly and tied to nuisance code rules.

President Obama says government should not spearhead a costly jobs program and favors private sector job creation while acknowledging deficits. House Speaker Pelosi seeks to extend stimulus measures and tap up to 70 billion from unused TARP borrowing to fund road, firefighting, teaching, and small business support, with Democrats weighing this as debt funded.
