City budget talks continue without oil windfall aid
Garden City commissioners review the 2005 budget requests for the airport, municipal court, police, information technology and recreation commission. City Manager Bob Halloran says funds will be tighter due to no oil and gas valuation windfall despite Finney County gains. City valuation rose 2.8 percent to about 133 million, but state mandates loom. The Kansas Police and Fire retirement contribution rises from 3.8 to 4.41 percent, and the PER system from 9.49 to an unspecified higher rate by next year.
