The budget includes additional funding for police and fire departments, capital improvement projects, maintenance and the creation of a new Recreation and Cultural Services Department.

Last-minute changes to the budget included shifting $1 million from the city’s capital improvement budget to parks acquisition funding. The council also voted to set aside $50,000 in the general fund for possible raises for nonrepresented employees such as the city administrator, department managers and the city clerk.
