<br />"What it does is puts us on a plan that will bring us to equality," Sheley said. <br />"Far too often, I talk to people who ask why it has gotten this way." <br /> <br />Bay town Mayor Calvin Mundinger suggested reducing the total linear feet in every <br />iistrict and putting the extra funding into a pool to use where it is needed. <br />Nhile that idea is closer to what Sheley was trying to obtain, the flat rate <br />reduction in all districts could also be unfair. <br /> <br />The plan that probably reflects need most accurately is to distribute the funding <br />based on each district's percentage of the total need. That means Renteria's <br />district would receive 32.75 percent of the total budget, since his district <br />represents that much of the total need. <br /> <br />Council put off a decision on how exactly to divide the funding, but city staff <br />said they are ready to start making repairs as soon as council makes a decision. <br /> <br />Deputy City Manager Bob Leiper said he was ready to sign the work order as soon <br />as he knew what streets they would be fixing. He also pointed out that this <br />program was not designed to fix the streets in town that are in the worst <br />condition. <br /> <br />"These are middle ground streets that need rehab, not reconstruction," Leiper <br />said. <br /> <br />2 <br />
