No Tax Hike Likely Surplus Seen in City Budget
City Finance Director Calderone told Council a surprising year end surplus of about 88 thousand dollars is likely, with over three mills left unspent. He cites higher public works funding, delinquent tax collections, and stronger real estate tax payments as the main sources. The money will likely yield no tax increase and possibly a small tax cut depending on future council decisions.
