We've given two grants for the waste water treatment,is the plant being maintained is there a 5 year,ten year plan? If not just dig a hole and dump the money down.What about the recent theft has that been resolved? Why not, before there are any grants we make sure the city is viable and sustainable.

It will be for them only. They can have fund raise like sell plates car wash bake sales auction off baskets with nice items. On the play parents let children go without supervision. I once was at a park with my grandkids later some small kids probably 6 to 6 years no adults around. Even if I lived next to the park I would not let my kids or grandkids go and play by there self's. Tax money wasted just for that community. If the community in that are want a nice building and a playground why don’t they raise money there self. It will be for them only.

That would buy a whole lot of blacktop! Does a resurface really require a design study? Sounds like more wasted money. WHAT??? $750,000 just for a “design” to resurface streets?

Their total population is about that of a large subdivision, yet they keep wanting to spend money like they are a mid-sized city instead of a tiny town. While they obviously love grants, that's still a lot of spending even from their own taxes and I can't grasp why they aren't fed up with it. Road, sewer, water and a park seems like it would cover less than 2,000 total people. Something for storm shelter would make sense, but these plans don't appear to be that either.

This is less than 5,000 feet from the new $10+ million gym/community center state taxpayers are paying to building over on Hecker, and less than 5,000 feet from the existing community center on Hwy 4 that's full of mold because they don't care for it. And it's 1500 feet from the "business center" community center. They have two existing community centers, and we are paying $8,800 for every man, woman and child in Century to build two more? 15.4 million and the water wells are broke. Please explain. Why?
