Council Member Discusses Diligent Budget Process and Fiscal Prudence
Council Member Pam Bell discussed the city budget, emphasizing the extensive hours spent by the council in reviewing and deliberating on it. She highlighted that the budget is lean compared to other cities of similar size and praised the city's management of assets, retention of quality employees, and efforts to keep taxes low. She stressed that the council considers all citizens and employees when making budget decisions. The city has been debt-free for six years, utilizing income for building operations. Property taxes have remained stable or decreased despite rising assessments, with only the occupational tax increasing to cover Kentucky retirement system costs. The current budget of $19 million is a significant growth from previous budgets around $9-10 million. The council is committed to ensuring the budget is correct before final decisions are made.
