5 to 1
Why This Vote Matters
The city council approved the 2012-13 operating budget and five-year capital improvement plan with broad support in a 5-1 vote, with Councilmember Boozé dissenting and Councilmember Bates absent. The budget covers day-to-day city expenses like staff salaries and services, while the capital plan funds major infrastructure projects like road repairs and park improvements over the next five years. The council retained the ability to make budget adjustments in September 2012, but specifically ruled out reducing library staff hours. This is the city's primary annual budget decision that determines how tax dollars will be spent on city services and infrastructure.
