1. I feel Greensboro needs to re-negotiate it's contact with the Wilbur Ross group currently occupying a portion of the old Cone Mills facility and address potential options of methane gas usage from Greensboro's White St. landfill. The current contract between Greensboro and Mr. Ross and his group leaves no option for the city to utilize the excess methane gas as an incentive to entice other companies with an alternative fuel source. Currently his Greensboro facility uses only 45% of the available methane gas forcing Greensboro to burn off the remaining 55% his company does not use. This methane gas coming from our landfill should become a profit center for our city and not burned off. I ask the question, can the excess methane gas be used to fuel city schools? We are a community, city and county officials must work even harder assisting small business owners and encourage new business to locate here.

2. City Transportation: It was once stated by a famous statistician Dr. Deming, "you make decisions based on statistical data and not on a hunch or feelings". If data indicates a higher demand (more citizens riding the bus) from one sector of the city an increase in frequency of bus routes and service must be be made. In making this adjustment a less active bus route would in turn be reduced to compensate for the more active route. Remember the city must "Stay within it's Budget".
