City begins work toward 2013 budget with golf fund concerns
The city outlines a 2013 budget plan with a 265000 reserve fund goal and a Buffalo Dunes Golf Course budget of 894700, noting a 64000 shortfall and proposing higher fees or new revenue. Golf pro Cole Wasinger argues fees haven’t risen in seven years as commissioners seek additional revenue sources and discuss residency-based rate changes. The report covers multiple special funds and the budget timeline including mill levy discussion, July budget publishing, and a public hearing set for July 17.
