Budget hearings set for city council budget week at Finlen Hotel
Executives Micone and McGinley plan to present the executive budget this week to the council of commissioners with public hearings scheduled Wednesday and Thursday nights at the Finlen Hotel. The plan estimates urban district levies at 113 mills, mirroring last year in Rocker fire district, with potential cuts in fire police and Civic Center funding. If held, residents in former city limits face about a 15 mill drop, while former county areas could see up to a 43 mill rise for services. Further reductions may lower total urban district levies below 113 mills but not near 100.
