The city of Eureka just approved a tentative $3 millions plus (with a deficit) budget. Included in the budget is, of course, $25,000 for a 'feasibility study' (read sales brochure) for a municipal swimming pool.
The mayor's new salary is to be $5,000 per year and the clerk's new salary is to be $4,500 annually. So the pool study would pay the mayor and clerk for some 2 and 1/2 years.
The pool study cost is more than 3 times the monies budgeted for the town's sesquicentennial celebration this summer.
The pool study cost would pay for 3 years of 4th of July fireworks and attendant festivities.
The pool study cost is 2 1/2 times what is budgeted for downtown beautification.
Is the pool study cost worth it? To whom?
