The Pattaya City Council approved spending of an additional 56
million baht for a list of nine projects dominated by roadworks, flood
prevention, and waste collection.
The 56.1 million was allocated to supplement the 2014 budget. The
council also voted down two proposals - for “durable” musical
instruments for the city Art, Movies and Music Department, and a new
water tank for the Pattaya Permanent Secretary’s Office - costing a
total 1.2 million baht.
Of the projects approved, 14.7 million baht was budgeted for
construction of a new road and laying of flood-drainage pipeline on
Sukhumvit Soi 91. A second, unspecified road project was approved for
9.4 million baht.
The council also approved 7.2 million baht for a project to manage
wastewater treatment and flood prevention, and 19.9 million baht to hire
a contractor to collect, transfer and treat waste.
Pattaya Hospital also received some spending, with 2.5 million baht
approved for new communication radios, and 1.3 million baht for air
conditioners.
A replacement water tank for city hall also was approved for 935,200
baht.
