Miscellaneous Business
Finance Director Bryan Hoffman went over Report 21 (his office’s snapshot of where city finances are currently). He stated everything is running to budget so far this year. In our leisure time fund, he reported Water Works was down 5% (mainly weather related), Downview complex was up 1%, and the golf course had a 23% increase in business. Our city maintenance fund is under scrutiny due to the majority of its funding coming from the city’s share of the state fuel tax. In 2023 and 2024 that amount ended up being $2.4 million for each year.
A public hearing will be held Monday, October 5 at 6:30pm for a yearly status of the DORA program in the downtown area.
