City Keeps Line Item Budget Amid Housing Budget Debate
Athens city officials will retain the line item budget with light changes after a Finance Committee vote. The decision follows a report by consultant Paul Hadinger criticizing the approach and urging a shift to a program budget, but staffing limits and political factors keep the line item method. Auditor Ralph Nuzum and council members clashed over requested financial data and monthly reports, with Nuzum citing personnel shortages. The committee plans weekly meetings to consider further changes while preserving fiscal control.
