2024 Specifications and Application for Depository of the City of Olmos Park RFP

       A message from Mayor Rickabaugh:

As I explained in my last communication, many small cities continued to struggle with the 3.5% new revenue cap imposed by the state legislature.  Olmos Park’s budget is also impacted by a cap on taxes levied on residents who are over 65. Our city staff is being proactive to investigate options to augment revenue streams so that we can continue to fund the needs of the city for years to come.  We want to be able to provide for our personnel, care for our aging infrastructure and continue to provide the very high level of services that we all enjoy.  At our last council meeting, we were presented with a waste collection study (attached).  Your council would appreciate your input on this matter.  For your convenience, below is a survey that will make it easy for you to provide your input.  Please know that no decisions have been made and we are in the very early stages of even considering this.  Your opinion matters and will help inform the council as they make policy decisions that impact all of us. 

Please email me if you have questions at OPMayor@olmospark.org 

As always, you are invited and encouraged to attend monthly council meetings.  They are the third Wednesday of each month @ 6pm.

More information on the 2024 Olmos Park General Election 

The City of Olmos Park has budgeted $5,000 in 2020 so that Eagle Veterinary Clinic could care for the stray dogs and cats picked up by the Olmos Park Police Department from calls received by Olmos Park residents.  These costs are escalating annually.

 

In an effort to help defray some of these costs paid for by the City and to pay for out-of- pocket expenses paid for by Eagle Veterinary Clinic for pet adoptions, shots, etc.  The City has established a STRAY ANIMAL FUND.   We are asking that you please consider donating to this fund so that the City can use these dollars for other needs in the City.
