Riverfront plans seek 2 mills for 1999 budget
Riverfront commission prepares to petition the city council next Monday to authorize two mills for the 1999 budget to finish riverfront improvements. They have wiped out a debt of 18 606 over three years and rely on voluntary labor and small millage savings to fund progress. The project includes a park between the Riviera theatre and river wall with a central fountain, flowerbeds, and walks, plus plans for a bridge, continued wall extensions, and a picnic area on the riverfront island. A 2-mill tax would yield about 15000, with no salaries beyond a secretary.
