Letter to the Editor: Passage of Prop 1

To the Editor:

Per Finance Director Debbie Tarry’s 6-year projections, Shoreline faces a deficit in 4 years.

Prop 1 provides A PORTION of service funding and does not include repairs for Shoreline Pool or maintenance for ADDED park space.

Staff could pay 25% of their health care plan and forgo step wage increases.

Eliminate the travel budget for Council and City Manager. Vacant space brings no revenue. Move Shoreline Police into City Hall.

Go to www.shorelinewa.gov for Council agenda/staff reports. Tell the Council to cut overhead costs now and bank the savings for services in 2014.
