Pelham Perspectives

On Episode 11 of Pelham Perspectives, we will recap the April 20th Pelham City Council Work Session and the April 23rd Pelham City Council Meeting. Highlights of our discussion include the decision by the council to reduce the city reserves (the savings account) from approximately 31 million dollars (3 Million to phase 2 of the ballpark renovations, 2 million to the flyover project, and the remainder to other pending capital projects) to 24 million dollars.
