Page 3 <br /> oo <br />Memo roi ~ike and Diane <br /> <br />I am sure I have not thought of everything. I have only several actual <br />prices of items but many estimates. I also have heard but not seen <br />anything concrete that the land acquisition of the Goodman property <br />has not been completed. There needs to be a figure for this, perhaps <br />$10,0007 <br /> <br />For what it is worth I'feel'that in'th~-~i~gs--~Y~the public and hearts of <br />the seniors, is a picture-of a $960,000 building. To appropriate less <br />would be a reflection of our integrity. I have Advisory Board members <br />who boast to the press that we have "...extra money..,? as a result of <br />the $739,400 single prime bid. Contributions have stopped coming in <br />because "we met our goal." <br /> <br />I know. You want to save our county money. I want you to also. We cannot <br />afford to appear to take away from this project. I was present on that <br />cold night in December. I heard the motion. I read it in the minutes. <br />300 Council on Aging members understood it this way by reading board <br />papers. The seniors were challenged to raise money with a match from <br />the County; up to $120,000 with a $360,000 match. The seniors raised <br />their $20,000. They expect their match. <br /> <br />This probably sounds like a written threat. I do not intend for it to <br />read like this at all. Rather, it is my "gut feeling" and thereby only <br />advice. <br /> <br /> <br />
