Budget hearing sets July 22 for city budget
City Manager Charles Mann presented a proposed budget with total expenditures of 328,196 dollars and a 10,413 dollar increase to operate the city next year. The street department gets the largest boost, 10,530 dollars, funding a new chimp truck and a street surface seal program. To cover rising costs, the council cut trash pickups and froze salaries. The last November election’s defeat prompted these cuts and the removal of street oiling for summer. Mann warned further cutbacks may come as the balance depletes. Other items: Mansfield Flooring to repair Washi Street and pave Nautilus Lane. residents urged to mow vacant lots or face fines up to 350 in Mayer's Court. a meeting next Monday on the Wayne County building code to harmonize local standards.
