The finance committee also held a special meeting Monday night to continue discussion on the city’s 2024 budget. Both chiefs from Police and Fire reported that their budgets would be very close to what they spent last year as far as staffing and training with the only real increase in the police budget to be in the records department as a result of police body cams. The labor to process video for public records requests is very significant as compared to the days when the only records were on paper. Department heads from Street, Sanitation, Utility Billing and Building and Grounds also reported that their expenses would be very much in line with the 2023 budget. The finance committee will continue budget discussions next Monday, Nov.20 at 6:30 pm.
