Council meeting faces open talks on budget and rate hike
Councillor Collins urged open meetings as Darnell argued for open discussion of dissatisfactions. Sheriff Darnell sought an executive session to discuss city county and judicial personnel issues. Mayor Hill said issues were aired with no resolution. Budget problems include a $38,986 deficit, 22 percent drop in gross receipts, and $19,000 to be refunded by the Sheriff’s Office. Planned cuts hit financial administration, streets, health, municipal buildings, and one job, with Workmen’s Comp insurance absent and a $16,000 bill owed to a firm. A July 27 public comment meeting on a proposed water rate was scheduled. A computer lease-purchase bid for City Hall was approved for July 22 publication.
