City Manager Unveils 2014-2015 Proposed Budget
City Manager Tom Bonfield has unveiled the $386.7 million proposed budget for 2014-2015. The preliminary spending plan includes a 1.29 cents tax increase on every $100 of assessed property value. The increase is needed to cover voter-approved debt service costs from previous bonds as well as salaries for 16 police officers and 15 firefighters. The tax increase means that the owner of a $150,000 home would rise by $19.35.

The City's second annual e-Town Hall will be held on Monday, June 2 during the City Council's regular meeting.
