Martin: Homeless Committee Will Cost Money

The new homeless committee is not supposed to cost taxpayers money, but Mayor Tom Martin doesn’t believe that.

“The resolution says that there’s no cost to the city.  However, it provides that the city manager will appoint a staff liaison and there will be a lot of staff work,” Martin told KFYO.

” It’s money.  We’re going to spend money to support this committee.  Mark my words, when it’s all said and done, there will be a recommendation that, gee, the city needs to spend a bunch of tax money dealing with the issue of the homeless.”

The mayor and councilman Paul Beane voted against forming the homeless committee.
