Property should be sold to cover increasing city costs, before another tax increase

Has anyone told the DEC? The city of Saratoga seems to hide from them.

I for one would like to see his park come to fruition... the situation clearly needs to be addressed regardless, however. If the city can no longer afford to pursue the project, how about approaching an organization like Saratoga PLAN to run it privately.

The mayor claims thatt he has been unable to pursue this project because of the "recession", but that rings hollow.

He has nearly $400,000 in cash and a State EPF grant NOW and it can ONLY be used for this project. He is also sitting on $100s of thousands in the City's Recreation Trust Fund.

do one better...Rent it to a business that does Kayaks or Icecream or hotdogs for boaters....maybe even bait for the fishheads. Put it on for a 2 or 3 year lease. renter gets to add sales tax and take care of property that the city doesn't have money for...a Win WIn for all!

maybe add dock space for a few boats and put that revenue in the city accounts instead of letting it sit idle....Do It now so a business can operate in the spring time...this has nothing to do with the mayor's office but someone like the mayor needs to steal my idea and run with it!

hey brad get your head out of the beer bowl and look on the other side of the bridge...what you say? emergency services? on 9p? wow....look at sam's first suggestion to rent it out and make money and tax revenue....no money pit when an entrepreneur makse a business out of it.....and the city can keep it in their inventory too. win win for everybody...besides would it be nice access to the lake and possible skating, kayaking etc? maybe a summer hot dog or icecream with lake views it is unique asset we should help city residents enjoy now, not later
