Is it a slap in the face for the Harbormaster to spend $86,500 on a new boat while times are so bad?
This is the debate that was in City Council tonight.
The Harbormaster Dept. is another of them there enterprise accounts so the city cannot avail itself of the proceeds of its enterprise.
There was this long debate about how enterprise depts. are not supposed to run at a profit. So how did the department accumulate $450,000 in its free cash account?
Well damn. I guess being in the harbormaster biz is very lucrative.
The dept. is getting the boat. It sounds like they need it.

Depends, was it on the public's dime? While times are bad, it is a slap for an English PM to pay for moat cleaning on the public's dime.
Heh?
Well, the Harbormaster dept. operates on its own revenues - from mooring fees and such. It's not part of the general fund.
