Mayor Ron Littlefield says he’ll go along with whatever the City Council decides when it comes to the direction of the city’s water quality program.
“They just have to make a decision,” Mr. Littlefield said.
The council’s independent committee on water quality laid out its proposal two weeks ago, cutting the current water quality, or stormwater, budget in half — from $21.5 million to $10 million.
Mr. Littlefield presented his alternative last week, which cut the program budget to $12 million the first year, but ramps up to $16.7 million by the fifth year.
“I laid it out as simply as possible,” he said.
