Although FRWA is encouraging Century to raise the rates, apply for a grant then will perhaps bid on a job to pay themselves raises my eyebrows and made me wonder if Century were expert they probably wouldn't need them but it seems they do. That's OK. The fact that the council is comparing themselves to ECUA http://www.ecua.fl.gov/is a great sign. The facts they now have tablets to use google and educate themselves is a very valuable. I hope they are up to date and educating themselves. Do not leave it up to the Mayor, The Council needs to be knowing what is going on and how things work. If this increase is not necessary, vote it down. We expect this extra revenue to be put to use and used wisely and for the entire Council, Mayor, employees to be mindful, professional and expert in carrying out their duties and services in this endeavor. We are also responsible to the environment and regulations and compliance and safety. Run the business well. It is also the responsibility of the ones who use and pay for these services. Educate us about FOG and other things it takes to let us enjoy these services and develop a real and continuing appreciation for the Town of Century and what it takes to provide this to the end users Make the CCR reflect other parameters that are tested. Hope to see the website. We want to know. Thank you all for your efforts.
