That growth is costly to maintain and produces almost no revenue. Much of that growth has been financed with open space bonds approved by taxpayers, which require the land to be programmed for active recreation. Hanton wrote in an email that the district will take Car- T HIS W K EE son’s comments to heart and reexamine its list of projects. “Our board and staff are committed to looking at our long term project list and prioritizing how we can meet the goals of the organization/community in the most financially responsible way,” Hanton wrote. In addition to being able to maintain the thousands of acres of open space the rec district is responsible for, including treating for noxious weeds and costly fire mitigation work, Hanton said the tax increase will allow the district to pursue some new projects. He pointed to developing trailheads and trails at recently acquired open space like the Triangle parcel in lower Silver Creek, replacing playgrounds and developing parks. “I am happy that the Council recognizes the importance of recreation in our community and what we do as an organization to make our town a special place to live,” Hanton wrote. “We take the responsibility of this increase seriously and will use the funds judiciously.” County budget The county’s 2020 budget includes a 2% cost-of-living increase and a possible 3% merit raise for employees and a new program to partially match 401k spending. The new positions increase the hours of a senior services administrator from part- to full-time, adding a stormwater inspector, a behavioral health budget manager, a GIS coordinator, a public works weed-enforcement officer and a working inmate crew lead and restructuring of the communications and public engagement office. The increase to the Health Department’s budget is due to the changeover in how the county provides behavioral health. Instead of state and federal funds going directly to the previous provider, Valley Behavioral Health, the county controls the money. Department heads had requested a roughly $68 million budget and 24 new full-time employees. The budget committee, county manager and County Council slashed those requests by about $7 million and 17 employees. !
