Why This Vote Matters
The city council approved its annual operating budget for fiscal year 2008-2009 in a 7-1 vote, with Councilmember Butt dissenting. The budget sets spending limits and tax rates for all city services including police, fire, parks, and public works for the 12 months starting July 1, 2008. The approved version includes revised criteria for nonprofit emergency grants but removes a $150,000 allocation that was originally planned for additional General Plan work. This is a required annual action that allows the city to continue operating and providing services to residents.
