Council Hears From Public

City Council is getting an earful from the public on their thoughts on the 2013 budget.  The Lakehead Canoe Club is speaking to Councillors this evening ask for the dredging of Boulevard Lake to be included in the fiscal document.  Meanwhile, City Finance Manager Carol Busch talked about what the draft budget would mean for the average home owner.  Busch says if the budget is passed as is property taxes would go up $89 dollars, and water & sewer bills would go up $55 dollars.  City lawmakers have set three days aside to review the draft budget before sending it for a final vote in March.
