City faces need for more revenue says budget may force cuts
City Manager Delly Voelkel told the council that rising operating costs threaten services unless new revenue is found. From an initial $554,000 deficit for 1969-70, preliminary cuts reduce to about $316,000, with raises only for police and firemen already approved. Tax increases of 18 to 21 cents per $100 are possible, but no decision until final budget draft. Tax rate now sits at $1.49 per $100.
