concerning the 2008-2009 Budget.

Joe gave a somewhat detailed report of each department’s budget. Joe expressed his concern for the rising cost of fuel and its effect on the expenses for the City. Joe requested for direction on what would be the best option to increase the revenue for the City. The Mayor encouraged the council to stop by Joe’s office and voice their concerns and suggestions regarding the budget.
Joe will have some figures for the council in a couple of weeks to how much of an increase will need to be made to the 08-09 budget to off-set the rising cost of expenses.
