Subject: Herbek has CHANGED

Mr Herbek, WHAT HAS CHANGED YOUR THINKING IN 4 YEARS? If you agree that the water fee is seperate, how can you use surplus monies to bail out a poorly managed city budget? Wouldn't the LOGICAL thing to do is lower our water bills NOT INCREASE them. Why should we be double dipped to replenish the funds intended for water department's maintenance needs, which supposedly is self maintaining.
Back in Croton-on-the Hudson you were a lot less arrogant.

" Ms. Minett asked what if you were to lower the water tax and propose this new sewer rent fee. Mayor Schmidt stated that each fund is independent. Village Manager Herbek further stated that the water fund has to be its own fund and it needs to cover the costs of operating the Village water system. It has to be run as a self-subsidizing account to cover all the costs involved with the Village providing water to the people who are using Village water. Sanitary sewer rent is very similar to the water charge. For those people who are using the sanitary sewer system it is covering those costs of operating it. Most of the Village operations are incurred by the General Fund, which is $14 million and the largest fund, the Water Fund and the Sanitary Sewer Rent would be a third fund. We can’t have a separate fire fund, police fund or public works fund since we can only do those things that are prescribed by State Law and State Law allows you to establish a Sanitary Sewer Fund. Ms. Minett asked if the golf course pays a water tax. Village Manager Herbeck announced that they are one of the largest users and they pay a water bill.
