City approves budget with 2007 carry-over plan
City Manager Bob Halloran says the carry-over budget is in place for emergencies and notes increases for prosecutors and municipal court staff due to more complex cases. The plan funds a new master gardener at Lee Richardson Zoo and three more firefighters, while property taxes for a $100,000 home total $387.07. The budget totals $62.36 million with $2.73 million for Garden City Regional Airport taxiways and $90,000 for architectural fees for a proposed third fire station, subject to fire department issues being resolved. City commissioners, led by Mayor Janie Perkins, voted for the plan despite a lone dissent from Commissioner Gary Fuller who cites rising costs and a soft economy impacting sales tax and health insurance costs.
