City Budget Adopted Despite One Vote Opposition
The city council approved a new operating budget of about 1.5 million more than last year in a 5 to 1 vote with Council President Dean Van Land absent. The increase reflects internal accounting changes and over 500000 in federal funds, while the net operating rise is near 150000. Sanitation rates add 36000 and sewer rates about 10000, with a projected 2 percent rise in consumption contributing another 40000. City Clerk Frank Clifton notes the plan funds city operations for the 1977-78 fiscal year.
