Trussville City Council Approves $41 Million Budget

The 2022 fiscal year's budget is the largest in the history of the city, according to Trussville mayor Buddy Choat.

TRUSSVILLE, AL — The Trussville City Council Tuesday approved the city's 2022 fiscal year budget of $41 million. The budgetis the largest in the city's history, according to a Trussville Tribune report.

Budget highlights include:

  • 2 percent cost of living adjustment for city employees
  • New vehicle purchases for departments throughout the city
  • Equipment for the city
  • Exercise equipment for the Trussville Civic Center

“I think it is an excellent budget and a testimony to the way the city is growing,” mayor Buddy Choat said in the Trussville Tribune report. “Our revenues have grown. The census does allow us a little more opportunity to collect on the on-line sales tax, which is figured on population. Since the population has increased by 31 percent over the last census, the city gets a little bit bigger piece of the pie.”
