10 thoughts on “Carmel Clay Parks needs new funding source soon

  1. Betting that the average Carmel resident has no concept of all of the “surprises” that will continue to pop up, thanks to the previous administration’s spending and accounting.

    1. Amen! Parks are wonderful, but there is a limit to what any city should spend on them. I’m betting Sue Finkham will slow down much of the park development and focus on maintenance. I can only imagine how many ‘fiscal cliffs’ they will have to deal with.

    2. Indeed. $25.5 million per year in a city of 100,000 is $255 per person, $1020 for a family of four, that has to be funded from local income and property tax.

  2. I was talking to my state representative the other day (Indy Center Township), and asked about the possibility of seeing some support from the Republican doughnut counties because soon they will be in he same situation as Indy with the anti-urban road tax distribution formulas. Maybe he was right, when he said it will be another 20 years before they wake up to the inequities.

    But just maybe cities like Carmel really do need a fairer share of the road tax dollars sooner rather than later to patch holes in the budget just like this, and we won’t have to wait 20 years.

  3. It seems to me that if you have a shortfall for maintaining the parks that you have, you shouldn’t be stating “the parks department will also require $11.5 million per year in capital funds to develop new parkland.” Parks are lovely, but the government, like most of the rest of us, should live within their means.

  4. How about eliminating Clay Township as a pointless source of government, and consolidate all responsibilities and funding into the City Of Carmel?

  5. Lots of experts here, most probably don’t even live in Carmel. There is a reason many of us live in Carmel. Low taxes, excellent schools, great parks, continuous upkeep and community growth. The money is there, there is no concern. Its just a media spin to create the negativity of a thriving community.
