At under 2" of snow it is at our discretion to plow or not

The a majority of the B.T.C.C. officers decided that because it was less than 2" of snow & was going to be above freezing during the day today & to not plow this time

- If we could please ask that people Check to make sure their storm drains in the street are clear so the wintery mix has some place to melt .

COUNTY EXECUTIVE ANNOUNCES 12-STOP LISTENING CAMPAIGN

NEW CASTLE, Del. – County Executive Chris Coons, Council President Paul Clark, and members of County Council will begin a countywide listening campaign on Thursday, January 22, 2009, that will visit each of the 12 Council Districts in New Castle County.

Each session will consist of a presentation on County services and the financial challenges that lie ahead, followed by a group discussion. County officials and representatives from each County department will be present to answer questions. The feedback officials receive from the public will help shape the budget that the County Executive presents to Council in March.

“The 12 sessions of our listening campaign will provide an opportunity for us to hear from the public what they value and what they are willing to pay for,” said County Executive Chris Coons. “I believe these sessions can and should be positive and constructive as we take a hard look at every aspect of County government.”

Because of declining revenues, the County’s general operating budget deficit is projected to grow to nearly $40 million next year. The County’s total operating budget for FY2009 is $240 million.
