I recently talked to Mary Donaldson, Ward 2 Councilperson about a few 
more budget questions.

1) What new services will the town gov't deliver to residents after 
spending $40,000 on software as noted in the Special Projects section?

Councilperson Donaldson said that the town bought new computers this 
year and that the software would result in a more productive town 
staff.  A new database will be created and an IT person will do some 
work on a contract basis.
	
2) Why did the reserve fund contribution go from $66,000 this year to 
$0 next year?

Councilperson Donaldson said that we have more than $600,000 in the 
reserve fund and the mayor thought that was sufficient.
	
3) What will town residents gain from spending $500,000 on an addition 
to the Riverdale Municipal Center?  This was noted as item E under New 
Funding Requests.

Councilperson Donaldson said that the addition will go on the second 
floor above the video room and conference room.  The addition will 
provide more archival storage space and a meeting room dedicated to the 
council.  The meeting room on the first floor is fully booked.  Another 
meeting room for the council's use is needed.

WE are who we have been waiting for.
