City council adopts new budget for 1994 95
Brownfield officials and city council held a public hearing on the 1994 95 budget of 10.2 million dollars, approved unanimously after no public comment. Mayor Swain credited avoiding property tax increases. The plan includes a $150 000 loan to BID Corp to secure a state prison incentive by moving a radio tower, with repayment over about five years. The city also hires Parkhill Smith and Cooper to design new water towers, replacing two aging ones at an estimated 400 000 to demolish and rebuild, near the downtown and prison site.
