City budget may seek 15 mill mil levy increase to cover needs
Lawrence city officials consider a 15 mill levy rise to fund essential equipment needs in police fire and public works plus 500 000 in capital costs and 100 000 in operating expenses for a new technical education center with support from the Lawrence chamber of commerce and EDLCounty. The plan aims to maintain services and boost the salary pool about 1 percent while adding two positions, with other funding options and a possible police headquarters vote in November. The budget process hinges on balancing costs with fund balance policy and projected revenue growth ahead of a final decision in August.
