It will be held in a separate account, managed by the City Council but not intermingled with your regular funds.”Additionally,Cheap Air Max 2018, he pointed out that a set of indicators would be worked out jointly by the City Council and the government about what the money will be spent on and what is expected as criteria for spending.Once the outlined criteria are met on a monthly basis the President noted that the municipality would be able to claim another tranche of the fund.“We will be working on this as a collaborative venture and I hope it succeeds. I hope that you will use it in a way that is labour intensive…If you use half of it ($5 M per) per month you can hire for $30,000 a month, maybe even with reduced working hours. You can hire over 150 persons and you have $5 M remaining to buy things like gas and vehicles and other stuff.”He however asserted that most of the resources should not be focused on major tasks such as the large canals mandated by the municipality but rather on the upkeep of the city.According to the President with the additional financial support it is expected that the municipality will be able to efficiently fulfil its mandate to citizens from Agricola all the way to Cummings Lodge.A total of $163M has been allocated for the maintenance and other works for roads in the city and according to the President the municipality is likely to benefit from $130M for Georgetown alone in this regard.He disclosed that the government has issued a $76M contract to rehabilitate and restore to full capacity the Liliendaal pumping station thus significantly improving the drainage capabilities of the city.Another contract valued at $63.7 M will see the full restoration of the Kitty drainage pump.“These will all be rehabilitated and handed back to the city so when you add these figures you are getting significantly more through this direct intervention.”In order to fulfil the MOU the municipality will be tasked with implementing a programme that concentrates on the improvement of the aesthetics of the city in the areas decided on by the two parties. |
