Funds transfer raises eyebrows at County, Sep 29/16 

Taxpayer eyebrows should be raised with fund transfers from the Kingston/Frontenac renovated program to the K&P Trail. Congratulations to those who voted against this scheme. Shame on non-elected staff for suggesting draining a reserve fund, and elected officials for approving the use of funds for non-intended purposes.

What happens in the future when federal and provincial funds do not exist. How can you feel sorry for Anne-Marie Young and economic development making offers to purchase without funds to meet obligations.

There is an age-old answer in Luke 14-28 “for which of you, intending to build a tower (read trail) sitteth not down first and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it.”

With the county paying Eastern Ontario Trail Alliance for maintenance, and having a “no fee trail” sounds like an endless money pit.

After the Frontenac Renovates reserve is used up, what will be the next reserve to be drained?

A Trail Head in Verona would be a crowning gem for this endeavor.

Will taxpayers ever know the final cost of the K&P trail?
