City Hones Budget Cutbacks Amid 2010 Levy Review
City managers tighten the 2009 budget while planning a preliminary 2010 mill levy for July 7 and a tentative budget approval on July 21. Hitz signals sustaining essential services at 2009 levels with scrutiny of nonessential projects, potential deferrals, and possible leasing over purchases. Revenue trends show a year‑to‑date sales tax rise, though future expansion by Sunflower Electric could force departmental adjustments. Planning, public works, and parks report staffing shifts and frozen or delayed positions as they trim costs and align resources with expected demand.
