The City is holding an open house tomorrow night (6-7:30PM at the Community Center) to discuss the budget. I don't recall their ever doing this before, but I encourage you to attend this one.

They've put together a nice booklet with a high-level view of where the City's revenue comes from and how they spend it. Here are a couple of high points:

REVENUE
2023: $110,127,474
2024: $155,881,220

EXPENSES *
2023: $115,377,053
2024: $166,578,393
