Holland budget leans on reserves amid tight year
City officials describe a deficit budget with limited new investments aside from essential infrastructure. They project maintaining a 20 percent fund balance, relying on reserves to weather unforeseen challenges and continuing to invest in water, sewer, roads, parks, and downtown infrastructure. The plan includes nine budget goals and funding for police body cameras, while awaiting guidance on American Rescue Plan funds and preserving the current millage rate. The CDBG plan allocates 182000 for home repairs and various public improvements aimed at low income residents.
