Municipal Budget Late Again

Posted by Publisher on
Fairhope, Alabama




FISCAL YEAR 2020 BEGAN TODAY

During a contentious, marathon, four-hour work session yesterday, the city council began making cuts to the mayor's 2020 budget proposal (projected revenue and expenditures).

Another work session was planned for next week (Monday) after the mayor and finance staff have time to make appropriate adjustments; the budget could then be passed during the October 9th council meeting.

Within reason the late budget is no big deal. I am surprised the Mayor gets jacked up when they reduce her revenue estimates. It just makes it easier for her to come in under budget and look good. I believe the land purchase was 3-2. Can the Mayor veto the purchase ? I get the feeling Conyers could negotiate better than Burrell and Burrell negotiates better than Wilson based on the last council comments. I feel like the city pays top dollar too much on some of these land deals.
