page 19 of the Fiscal Year 2018 budget book

* - previously agreed to pay for these items.

Voted on by the Templeton Municipal Light commissioners on March 8, 2017.

Note: The $10,000.00 for a new dump truck body is only part of the reported $27,500.00 listed as the total cost for this item. The rest of the money will come from taxation according the book.

Note: I did not even have to ask directions to the light department for this information.

  1. Good job Jeff. So did Carter get a signed PILOT agreement from these guys ? If not why not ? That is something we were told to do enough times that there should be no question about it. I suppose something is better than nothing, but I have a feeling they got off real cheap. Got to give Carter credit, he got more out of them than Markel ever did. Bev.

  2. The number for the electric part is what they would have collected from the town.
    They would like the people and advisory to "think" they are out 42261.00 as a pilot when in reality the cost to provide the power is not the 42261.00.
    A good question is what would the actual cost to provide it and why do we allow them to dictate what the pilot money gets used for.
    If we had a advisory committee who asked about it we may just get some answers.
    Or we could hear from them your lucky you get that much.
    Man up Jeffy and see what the cost to the "Templetons" light department was.
    It sure ain't no 42261.00 like they want you to believe.
    That's less than the profits from the schools bills.
    Good job JEFFY?

  3. Enough with the personal crap, both of you ! I do not like it and I have heard from others, it makes people uncomfortable! We have a chance to get our town straightened out , once and for all. We have to work together. I am sick of a town meeting where people do not want to go, because they get hasselled, and are afraid to ask questions. This is the best chance for our town to get it right. We can't screw it up ! Please stop, please ! Bev.
