Replacing aging water lines and a wastewater treatment plant. Our wastewater treatment plant is over seventy years old and has not been upgraded in nearly thirty years. It has to be replaced and we need to deal with it ASAP. Great Bend has water lines running beneath our city streets that are over 100 years old. I am not a water expert, but this can’t be good for drinking water. Last but not least, taxes. The citizens of Great Bend are taxed out. We have to find a way to keep taxes at their current level or lower.
I have lived in Great Bend for sixty years and know this town very well. I worked in retail for forty years, most of those years in management. The companies I worked for did tens of millions of dollars in sales annually giving me experience in setting and meeting budget goals.
This office is local government. Almost all decisions for Great Bend’s well being are made by city staff, the mayor and city council.
