2010 City budget passes

The 2010 City budget passed at the Council Meeting August 18th by a vote of 5-3. Councilmember Craig was absent from the meeting and the resulting vote, after the Public Hearing and discussion, was 4-3, with Councilmembers Granger, Valentine, and myself voting "no". Since Ordinances require 5 votes to pass, the Mayor was then allowed to vote and he cast the fifth "yes" vote. A link to the budget draft can still be accessed from my website at www.johntracy.net.
