Liberty Senior Congregate Luncheon begins Oct. 1 at Heights
Reprinted from The Vindicator By Carol Skewes, Publisher  Liberty City Manager Gary Broz has been busy with many projects lately, but he is quite proud to announce the new location of the Senior Congregate Lunch to be held weekdays, beginning Oct. 1 at Heights Baptist Church, 2401 Jefferson Drive in Liberty.
Broz is still asking for a few volunteers to donate just one hour per week (you pick the day) at Noon to help serve the hot meals, cooked by LISD's Food Services Department. Broz stopped by the Liberty Lions Club Monday evening to update the Lions on other projects as well. He told Lions the City of Liberty adopted their 2012-2013 budget, which includes the $6,884,000 general fund. This amount is 4% up from last year. Most of the increase came from health insurance costs. Broz said, "This is a no frills, balanced budget ... It is in the black, but not where I would like it to be." Sales remains flat at approximately $2 million per year. Broz added, "Property Tax took a big jump." The city went after some delinquent accounts and collected around $300,000. He said $2.2 million of the $3.2 million borrowed for the Boomerang substation is already paid off and he expects the city to payoff the remainder early, within 6-7 years. Boomerang is using slightly less electricity than originally anticipated. Liberty is asking for rebids on the substation project. Original bids came in $600,000 over budget. Broz mentioned he is waiting on only one landowner to potentially release right-of-way for a new road to be built connecting the bypass (just south of Hall Rader & Associates) to Lakeland Drive. Adam Ott, Executive Director of Magnolia Place confirmed they have a contract in place to build their new facility, pending the completion of the road. Ott said, "We are in line as far as I know." Broz added Liberty-Dayton Regional Medical Center has an option for 40 acres to build a new hospital. Broz said, "We will build a three-lane, curb and gutter, concrete road with underground electricity." The next step is for Broz to deliver a financing plan, design bid, construction and engineering proposal to the next City Council meeting in October. |
