Marion Budget Backed As City Boasts Solid Finances
Marion City Manager Carl Ramey says the city is in very good financial shape with no service cuts planned for the next fiscal year. The proposed budget calls for a 6.6 percent tax increase, about $25 more annually for a $40 000 home, yet general fund spending will dip to $7.63 per $1 000 due to growth. The plan adds a new Building Department, raises for 18 employees, and a $920 000 general obligation bond for capital projects, with total operations at $4.4 million and revenue at $4.6 million. Public hearing set for March 6 at City Hall.
