City Finances Hold Steady Despite Earlier Crises
City officials report a fiscal year end financial report will appear in Friday's Daily Telegraph after a year marked by a financial crisis. The board previously closed Fire Station No. 2 and cut salaries by 10 percent, a move later rescinded. Leaders discuss Small Cities Block Grant status for demolition projects as several structures have already been torn down. Citizen comments include a complaint of alleged neglect in trash pickup at one property, with city crews directed to provide weekly written documentation of grass bag removals.
