City council reviews budget gaps in utility fund at retreat
At the 17th annual Aiken City Council retreat Horizons the group examined the upcoming year's budget split among the general fund utilities fund and capital project sales tax fund. The general fund is about 21 million with healthy revenue though the utility fund faces shortfalls up to 800000 by June. A main water line break and sewer lift station repair costing 234000 plus back payments from a bankrupt manufacturer contribute to losses. The city may raise fees next year while capital project funds collected faster than expected will fund projects voters approved in fall 2000 such as Virginia Acres Tennis Complex skate park and Citizens Park phase two.
