City budget meeting stalls as council tabs budget

City Manager Neil Nielsen warned revenue remains static and urged restraint as expenditures are reviewed, noting no tax increases and projected fire truck funding from balance forward. The report cites no private citizen turnout for public invitations and references ongoing debates on local mining and nudism-related bills in Missouri.
