City Council Again Takes Up Budget

City Council will meet at 5:45 p.m. Monday and 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in work sessions to review and discuss the City Manager’s Recommended Budget for Fiscal 2014.

The Council hopes to bring the budget to a first read during its regular session Tuesday, which begins at 7:30 p.m. in Council Chambers in City Hall.

The April 23 meeting agenda called for council members to cast their first of two votes to approve the budget, but they came to that meeting from the 5:30 p.m. work session still in disagreement over line-item cuts and a tax rate.

"Every time we leave a work session we think we have some decision, but we come back with more ideas," Mayor Mary Katherine Greenlaw said after that sixth work session.  "It's crunch time and we must move forward," she said.

The May 14 agenda includes:

• Ordinance 13-__, First Read, Setting the Real Estate Tax Rate at $0.78 per Every $100.00 of Assessed Value of Real Estate for Fiscal Year 2014  LINK

• Resolution 13-__, First and Second Read, Appropriating Funds for the Fredericksburg City Public Schools for Fiscal Year 2014  LINK

• Resolution 13-__, First Read, Appropriating Funds for Fiscal Year Beginning July 1, 2013 Through June 30, 2014  LINK

The complete agenda is attached to this article as a .pdf.
