Summary
The city's new budget includes a 2% raise for most employees, five new positions, and $2.5 million in capital purchases, funded partly by a one-time $1.1 million draw from reserves. The tax rate drops nearly 2 cents to $0.6678 per $100 — the no-new-revenue rate — though rising property values mean total collections still grow.
