Maybe the District could come up with the financial aspect, and then create a new non-profit to oversee the running and maintenance of the property. This would keep the unionized municipal employees and management at arms length, so things could be done affordably and in a responsible manner.<br /> We don't need someone being paid $80,000 per year to "manage" a house and cottage, and we don't need a guy being paid $40.00 per hour to mow the lawn and paint the fence.<br /> Perhaps this is an instance where "contracting out" for services might be a sensible solution? Otherwise, we'd probably only be putting the district in the same position where the Land Conservancy currently finds itself.......broke, and expenses exceeding income.
