C I T Y B U D G E T N E W S — A l

though the 1993 city budget won ' t

be passed for a few days after my

newsletter column deadline, the

final budgetpackageis taking shape

following weeks of discussion and

public hearings. Overall, it* s been a

difficult budget process for the City

Council and the mayor and our staff.

The city faces another major cut in

state shared revenues, and the state's

Tax Rate Disparity Program also

limits our options by restricting city

spending increases.

H o w e v e r , w e ' v e worked

hard to avoid major layoffs, while

protecting vital city services. T h e

overa l l c i ty s p e n d i n g i n c r e a s e

should come in below the 3 percent

inflation level. A major -concern

during this year ' s process has been

finding a way to save the Group Access Service, which provides bus

service for the elderly for shopping

trips, visits to clinics for health care,

etc. With assistance from Dane

County, I 'mopt imis t i c that we ' l l be

able to save this valuable service.

Despite the tight budget,

there 's still good news for 2nd District residents on several fronts. The

budget contains the following items,

which I pushed for this year:

• N e w landscaping a long the

Y a h a r a R i v e r a n d a t t h e

Tenney boat launch.

• New soccer goalposts, an acces-

siblepath and bridgerepair work

for Tenney Park. • New landscaping for the lake

overlook for James Madison Park.

• $120,000 for landfill protection

i m p r o v e m e n t s at D e m e t r a l Field.

• Infrastructure repairs for Br eese Stevens Field.

• Street repairs for the Emerson neighborhood, for 2nd St. be

tween Mifflin and Johnson St.

and on E. Dayton between 1st

and 4th Sts.

• Bui ld ing improvemen t s and

parking lot landscaping for the

First Street city garage. • Phase one dollars and staff plan

ning t ime to begin the East Rail Corridor Bike Path.( My hope

is that the city will finish this

important new recreational trail

by 1994, which will eventually

be an urban link with the state

bike trail system.)

H O U S I N G S T U D Y C O M P L E T E D — A s a member of the

Plan Commission, I proposed set

ting up a subcommittee last year to

work with developer Jerry Mullins regarding his property behind Wash-

ington Square. T h e site was used

for many years by the Trachte Co. (continued on next page)

and her staff have provided excellent nursery and pre

school programs for the entire city. I recently wrote a

letter to the Community Development Authority to

support the nursery board ' s request for a Capital Revolving Fund loan. And if you haven ' t yet sent a

donation for the Building Dreams Fund, I urge you

to do so.

L O O K I N G U P O N C U R T I S C O U R T — A neigh

borhood initiative by residents on Curtis Court has

lead to new tree planting and other landscape improve

ments. I met this summer with city engineering staff,

forestry crews, and businesspeople and residents

along Curtis Court, and our mutual efforts have made

a difference. N e w grass and other amenities will be

put in next spring, and the large-sized trees should

have their first leaves by next summer. Take a bow,

Curtis Court, for your good work. (And in addition to

that neighborly effort, le t ' s hear it for the Forestry Dept. for the other 75 new street trees that were put in

this year along Sherman, Johnson and many other

streets.)

E A S T H I G H U P D A T E — L a s t winter the ci ty 's

Transportation Commission met with Principal Milt McPike and parents from East High to discuss ways to

improve pedestrian safety along East Washington Ave. W e looked at a variety of options and came up

with some good solutions. New flashing lights have

been installed near the school, and a new, higher fence

in the median should be put up before the snow flies.

Other improvements were made at the 4th St. cross-

walk, which should lead to safer pedestrian access for

students, staff and parents trying to get to East. My

personal thanks go out to Traffic Engineering staff,

parents and especially to Milt McPike for his patience

while the work was completed.

S E A S O N ' S G R E E T I N G S T O O N E A N D A L I ^ -

The holiday season fast approaches, and i t ' s a time for

family and friends, rest and reflection. My wife Anne

and I would like to extend our personal holiday greet

ings to you all.

I ' ve represented the 2nd District on the City

Council for almost eight years. And despite the new

gray hairs, the late-night meetings, and the occasional

6 a.m. phone call, i t ' s always been a privilege and an

honor to serve. In my mind there 's no doubt about it:

Madison is a city worth working for and keeping

healthy and vibrant. N o w onward to 1993!
