I like the facade improvement program the group has. It's an example of how Leucadia is improving itself naturally without having to tear the whole thing apart.
If you have a business on coastal Leucadia click this.
"The $20,000 from the city would more than double the association's $19,500 in yearly revenue. It would pay rent for office space and to increase the hours of a part-time staffer, program director Paula Kirpalani said Monday.
Under the proposed contract, the organization would receive $1,666 per month for one year to provide management services within the district."
This shows how far a relatively small amount of moola can go. City should concentrate on this type of smaller support, and steer away from huge capital improvement expenses.
ReplyDeleteI saw in today's NCT that Carlsbad has an ordinance, from 1982, I believe, limiting expenditures for Capital improvements to $1 million or less, not including routine upgrades and maintenance.
We do not need more vanity projects for our leap frogging Council.
