– We are replacing 33 desktop computers for $83,767
– Mr. Sweet brings up, since 2017 GT has spent over $180,000 on Zero turn mowers. How many to we need and why the cost increase?
– Since 2019 we have borrowed $156,000 for recycling cans. At $60 a piece, that’s 2600 new cans. (We have about 25,000 housing units in GT)
– We’ve borrowed multiple times for the Black Box Theatre on the Black Horse Pike, but construction hasn’t started.
– Councilman Orlando states phase 1 is to repair the outside of the building and add a new entrance. They also state construction has started. If phase 1 is the exterior, wouldn’t we have noticed?
– Several hundreds of thousands of dollars have been borrowed for the roof on the municipal building. We have borrowed more than the receipts have shown we spent. Is the roof an excuse to borrow each year? Does council have any questions about it?
