BY BUDGET COMMITTEE
The FY 2012 Budget Committee will present the city's proposed 2012 budget to the city council for its approval. The committee, headed by Stan Grubin, has been working on it since January.
It includes enough funding for a 2% raise, sewer plant upgrades ($4 million), painting 2 water towers, burying electric wires downtown, replacing iron gas piping, improvements to the running track at Fairhope High School, and other utility upgrades.
Further additions to the general and utility reserve (emergency) funds are also proposed.
REVENUE FLAT
Mayor Kant said he expected incoming revenue and the city's growth rate to remain flat next year, with some reduction in building related revenues.
CITY COUNCIL MUST DECIDE
The city council can approve the proposal or make changes when it takes up the matter at Monday's council meeting.
Council members and the Mayor participated in some or all of the committee's meetings.
The next fiscal year begins Oct. 1st.
