Lake City Report - Sept. 3, 2010
Budget Hearing on the docket for Tuesday

From City Manager Wendell Johnson

A few words about the 2011 City budget

The focus of activity this week was the FY11 Budget.

The City’s first public hearing for “Tentative” adoption of the new budget is scheduled for September 7, 2010 at 6:30 p.m.

A summary of proposed budget revenues and expenditures for FY11 reveal a 23.13% increase over the current FY10 year. The key reason for this noticeable change is the planned construction of the new Lake City Airport Terminal ($1.8 million) and the design and first phase construction of the Kicklighter Road Waste Water Treatment Plant ($18 million cost).

The FY11 Budget Summary is provided as follows:
