Houghton city voters will go to the polls Tuesday to select a new council member. Mike Salmi, Robyn Johnson and Craig Waddell are on the ballot, and all appeared on Copper Country Today this past Sunday.

With a bill for more than a million dollars coming up for demolition of the city’s aging parking deck, host Todd VanDyke asked each of them where the money will come from.

Waddell says the city is on track to meet that goal…

I think the city manager has identified some funding sources for that.

If paying for the deck demolition threatens other city services, Waddell suggests that private donations might help bridge the gap…

I think some of the folks who are a little better off might be willing to donate money, not to pay the million dollars for the deck, but if you had a site that said “Here are some projects we want to help fund,” and it might be a park or something like that, so that would be one way to get additional revenue without raising taxes.
