SALISBURY -- In a special meeting Thursday morning, the Salisbury City Council voted unanimously to move forward with the re-allocation of a portion of the funds from a 2008 Public Improvements Bond to the Salisbury Zoo for the construction of their animal health building.
“In a nutshell, we’re basically transferring the ability to use those funds from one project to another,” said city attorney Mark Tilghman.
Up to $539,000 from that Public Improvement Bond has been re-directed toward the animal health building with any remainder going toward construction and engineering of the Riverwalk along the Wicomico River East Prong. The bond was originally allocated to the Waverly Drive Storm Sewer Project

So we would rather have a new zoo building than fix the floods..HM
ReplyDeleteWhy wasn't that money listed as surplus?
ReplyDelete4 weeks into he new fiscal year we are making unbudgeted changes of this magnitude. It's going to be a long and expensive 12 months with Jim and Jake at the helm!
ReplyDeleteIts for the children.
ReplyDeleteWho cares about the roads and sewer system, the children need to see the animals in the best shape possible....behind bars.
I did not know that the waverly project had been declared completed..???
ReplyDeleteThis money should have gone to the Fire Dept. for bonuses.
ReplyDeleteI don't like seeing those large cats in such a small cage. The Prairie dogs have more room.
ReplyDeleteWell you have to leave it up to the worthless council and the homosexual pansy of a mayor to waste you tax dollars. The idiots of Salisbury voted them in. I know if Joe was the mayor Salisbury would be in alot better shape.
