Horse Cave proposes tight budget By GINA KINSLOWGlasgow Daily Times Councilman David Lindsey said he would like more information regarding health insurance options available to city employees, before making a decision.
Other suggestions made by Martin during the meeting involved how the city would spend $70,000 it is anticipating from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for damage from the ice storm that occurred earlier in the year. Martin proposes using $16,000 to buy a chipper to mulch tree limbs and other debris from the ice storm; $15,000 for a Gator truck for the cemeteries; and $20,000 for the paving of lanes passing through the Main Street Cemetery. He also hopes to use some of the money to place a gazebo near the traffic light where the Owens Hotel once stood at the intersection of U.S. 31-W and E. Main Street. In addition to the gazebo, the mayor proposed using $40,000 of the city’s payroll tax money to fund the construction of a permanent stage on the hotel property. “I think it’s a great idea to do that,” Martin said. He also suggested the city apply for grant funding for the stage construction, and if the city is unable to secure any grants for the project then it can use money set aside in the payroll tax fund. Martin also proposed paving city streets and paying off the principal owed on the Thomas House, a historic home that is rented out for a variety of events. He also suggested the council form a committee to decide how best to use the Thomas House. “We need to find a use for it that will benefit the downtown area,” he said. At one point during the discussion, Smith left the meeting but she returned a short time later. The council is scheduled to meet in special session Thursday at 6 p.m. to discuss the budget again, and possibly approve on first reading an ordinance adopting it. A third special-called session is set for June 30 also at 6 p.m. for final adoption of the budget.
