Any chance for this severely underfunded boondoggle to get a few more bucks. Why else has this project progressed so slowly with no public statements about how fundraising is going.

Measure L: "Should the Town of Atherton primarily use private donations to construct and design a new Town Center? Other funding sources might include funds derived from Building fees or future grant money but would not use general fund or parcel tax money."
Arguments For Measure L included the statement:
"A yes vote ensures that the Council is true to its word. This ballot measure insures that no tax dollars or bond measures would be used for this project-as promised repeatedly."
All the Fire District has are tax dollars so how could the Fire District legally contribute to this project?
