Muscatine Adopts City Budget of 379250
The Muscatine city council approved a calendar year budget of 379 250, up 92 550 from 286 700. A major rise reflects 58 000 for sanitation program operations to be added to the tax list, with continued efforts to collect fees from residents. If the 58 000 is removed later, the increase would be 34 550. The decision followed debate and a parliamentary detour to fill a council seat, with some aldermen opposing a tax for current collection. The plan includes further talks with water and electric trustees to improve fee collection.
