City council approves budget cuts and fee hikes plan
The council plans across the board reductions in public safety and city services with a $250,000 Police Department cut, a Fire Department drop to 55 staff, and wage and program reductions in libraries parks and public works. Fees for housing and inspections would rise to fully fund services, plus 5 percent aid reductions to community agencies.

Coggon to Aid McCurdys with New Town Store Move
City Council will run water lines to the McCurdy store site at about 40 000 dollars to spur development. Mayor Foye backs the widening project and hopes a local option tax on June 10 will fund the water line and other efforts. Residents praise improvements while some worry over city overreach.
