City budget to raise utility rates and taxes in coming year
The city expects about a 4 percent rise in overall service costs driven by higher utility rates and rising home values. The plan includes $12 million in unfunded capital projects, with notable items for waste facility phase two, security upgrades, ADA improvements, a mobile command vehicle, and Veterans Park courts. Officials discuss restraining taxes while maintaining services and acknowledge uncertain values and impending negotiations with the police union.
