Thank you, Mr. Chair. I don’t see any indication here that there would be a decrease in the capital for the communities as a result of this motion. I see the motion indicating that they will work with the communities to establish a main street chipsealing program. As far as my communities go, one community’s done; one community is not done.
I support the motion because I feel it would increase the funding to a small community to get additional money to do some work on at least covering up some of the dust. I think that’s an issue…. It sounds to me like the dust-control program has also been delegated to the communities. I’m not seeing this as a motion that indicates that money will be shuffled or reduced at the community level.
My assumption is that this motion is to decrease the amount of money that’s being decreased in MACA overall and not roll it into the $28 million that goes in communities at this time.
