Loss of Slot Fees Threat To Finances
The City of Pocatello faces a serious fiscal shortfall if slot machine revenue ends, about 150000 dollars yearly. City Clerk Bert Reese warned the council in a late Friday meeting that the city may borrow up to 195000 dollars against county tax money, with January receipts needed to repay the loan and operating funds at risk. The council moved to set garbage fees while considering a $1500 loan from golf pro John Tuttle to finish work on three holes, a matter referred for legal study.
