Cedar Rapids trims 1971 contingent fund to meet budget limits
Cedar Rapids will cut its 1971 contingent fund by 72630 to cope with a lower than expected tax yield. Mayor Donald Canney and Finance Commissioner Stewart Shank said the reduction avoids layoffs or smaller raises, with the fund dropping from 182000 to 109370. The move follows a Linn county auditor report showing 257579 per mill yield instead of 260000, widening the city’s shortfall across 30 mills and forcing a small millage increase for the three funds outside operating budgets. The city will need tighter controls and possible legislative help to maintain services.
