Colfax City Council plans to discuss the 2002-2003 1.1 million city budget at Tuesday night’s meeting. City Manager Bob Perrault notes the budget remains largely unchanged, funded by reserves, with higher than expected sales tax and possible state funding cuts looming. He cites two risk areas: potential $20,000 to $30,000 shortfall and longer term funding gaps if the state budget remains unsettled.
