City Budget Faces Tight Year Across City Hall
City officials including Mayor Raymond Shepard, the safety director and the auditor face a tight 1965 budget as no new operating funds are expected.

City employees receive pay raises costing about $5,200 next year while property owners fund roughly 43 percent of county taxes and the city about 13 percent. The budget aims to balance within current income with a target council vote by August 19.
