SUMMARY S OIL e4a ! ke,
Let me see if I have this correct, NA has built up the Riverview Rec Center mainly
for the basketball which I am sure it brings in a lot of Revenue.
We have the SRP Baseball Park.
We have the New Splash Pad. The Splash Pad is a good thing for All of our children.
Now for some reason, we need an Amphitheater. Why??
I am not understanding why North Augusta needs an Amphitheater. What is the
reason for the Amphitheater?Who will benefit from this?
Why can't we use the SRP Park?
I think the citizens of NA should have a vote in such spending. Where is the money
for this coming from? Does NA have this money in the bank already?
Why would the city council want to put NA in debt?
1 think NA needs something for our Seniors. Our people that have put years and
years into North Augusta. We all will be a Senior one day.
I have been doing some research for what NA could do for Everyone.
Example: Grand Traverse County Senior Center.
I have spoken with Lori Wells with Grand Traverse County Senior Center
231-922-2092. She provided me some information. There about six (6) paid staff
and the county pays their salary.There are set volunteer programs. This was a city
funded project.This is not a 24 hour facility, this is not a care center.
