Give the bureaucrats a new program and they will figure out how to spend money. The program already has two employees (half time each) and next they will request new offices to house the program! This is just the start – after that will come a new building devoted entirely to the rental program. Look at Freeport Township – its own building. It’s good to know that Freeport has the unlimited funds to finance such ventures!
The meeting will be at 6:00 pm in City Council Chambers at 524 West Stephenson Street, 3rd Floor.

Items of interest:
Resolution to approve spending $32,100 for a preliminary Site Investigation for the Jane Addams Trail.
Request for approval from Deputy Police Chief, James Drehoble, to spend $11,595.00 for a Rental Property Registration and Crime Free housing software from Dynamic Design Software located in Bonita, California. In addition the program has an annual maintenance fee of $1,595.00. Pretty expensive program for a City the size of Freeport. In five years the City will spend almost $20,000 on a computer program for the Rental Program. I guess the City just wants to help a business in California!

The cold air has finally reached Florida, but tough Floridians just take it in stride. Most say it is jacket weather, and no lattés outside this morning. The Florida kids are in school, and businesses are open as usual. Our friends in Florida can serve as example – a little cold weather does not slow them down!
It is scheduled for Monday, January 7 at 6:00 pm in City Council Chambers at 524 West Stephenson Street, 3rd Floor.
