Two things – got my foot worked on a couple of weeks ago and between that and an earlier injury it’s been a month since I had a decent bike ride.  Did 10 miles yesterday but the foot started bleeding so I had to dial it back a bit.  I’m dying to get back on the bike or start spin class again but can’t do that until the foot is at least “sealed” back up…:)

An interesting tidbit from the Council – we have passed a new fund balance policy out of finance for consideration by the full Council.  The proposal is to set the official fund balance policy to maintain a balance equal to 13% of our budget.  This is different as we currently don’t have a hard and fast policy in writing but 15% has been the target in the past.  I’m pretty comfortable moving it down a little as our tax base has diversified and changed a lot since the 15% guidance was set years and years ago.  Fund balance policy is always a balance between being prudent and needlessly keeping people’s money tied up in a municipal savings account so more is not always better.  You try to find the prudent balance.

Oh, please go vote on Tuesday.  I’ll working the polls at lunchtime at Metz Middle.
