<br /> Do we want to maintain the current tax level and <br /> significantly reduce our level of services? Do we want to <br /> make do with less and pay for less? Or do we want to keep <br /> pace with our current needs and pay more? <br /> Municipal government is service-oriented. We are <br /> required to provide critically needed services in police and <br /> fire protection, streets, water, wastewater and electric <br /> utilities and much more. How well the City does its job <br /> reflects on the safety and the quality of life of every <br /> citizen of San Marcos. I strongly believe that city services <br /> are more efficient and that the Council has better allocated <br /> shrinking revenues than in years past. <br /> During the public hearing process, this Council hopes to <br /> hear viable solutions and suggestions concerning the City <br /> budget. We want to know what is important to you. In an <br /> effort to provide for the majority of our citizens, we must <br /> couple financial reality with a vision for the future. <br /> Our goal is to assess our needs and t~ pay for them, and <br /> to prosper financially to reduce the burde~ on the taxpayer. <br /> ~, as a community, must work together, be Nilling to give <br /> and take, and seek equity in utilizing the ~unicipal tax <br /> dollar to its best advantage. <br />
