All in all concerning Century and we citizens, this is normal.
If we people wanted it different they they know how.
People are resistant to change.
All the posting about all the things we know about our town are not going to change it.
No one cares.
20 years from now it will be the same old postings and complaints about Century.
50 years from now…the same.
Century is the Twilight Zone episode of the ultimate end.
1 or 2 or 10k complaints is futile.
Century in 100 years will be a tour museum, for tourists to view ultimate failure, because we want it that way.
Sad really.
Century is like the roach, stays the same for eons and will be eons in the future.

You don’t have to live in Century to see how inept it is at running it’s city. Also everything he has said has been posted on here and much, much more.

Loaning money to counsel members(was it ever paid back? if so where is the proof?), giving away free gas, trying to cheat developers out of money and the latest… not charging rent to a new business because it has no equity in its company. These are just a few I can think of off the top of my head.

When they took the money from the other departments to pay its bills in the past when did it get repaid? If it didn’t then why were the funds given to the departments in the first place? Did they need the money to begin with or was it given to those depts because they knew they’d steal it back later and hope it wasn’t noticed?

What the council needs to do is clean house of all those that handles the finances of the Town. Why would you keep the same gang in place year after year? Sometimes you can solve your problems just by hiring new people. Give it a try and see what happens, see if the Town‘a financial situation improves. You need fresh eyes and hands every so often. I can’t believe that Century has had these same people in place all of these years.

So just a little while back they did a gas line audit and found customers were getting free gas and when they went to question the guy running that department he quit. Im betting there is still free gas being handed out. This town is as crocked as it gets, giving council members loans? yeah that happened. Break this place up. get it off the county and states coffers

Raise the gas rates to the customer. Duh.

Doesn’t take an expert to realize the repetitive losses are due to either inefficient operations or inefficient rates.

Only two questions. One, does the town not have a long term gas contract that at least minimizes large swings in gas prices. Two, does the town not have a mechanism where fuel cost, at least to some extent, are passed through to the customer.
