Budget passes muster By JOHN THOMPSON jthompson@TheCitizenNews.com Senoia’s budget for 2004 zipped through City Council approval Monday night. The City Council approved a $1.27 million General Fund budget for 2004 at Monday’s meeting. That’s nearly $140,000 over last year’s amount. City clerk Debbie Hogan attributed many of the increases this year to the sewer system under construction. “It’s a pretty cut and dried budget this year,” she added. Also included in the budget are merit and cost-of-living increases, which could give employees a five percent raise. The council had originally set a meeting for Dec. 8 on the budget to question the staff about the budget. But with no controversy involved in this year’s funds, the council cancelled the meeting and quietly approved the budget Monday night. The council does have a called meeting Monday at 5 p.m. to look at additional budget amendments for the 2004 sewer fund. What do you think of this story? Click here to send a message to the editor.
