Short and sweet, that is what the Hill City Council meeting was on Monday night as the council quickly dispatched the business of the city. They had the second reading of the 2017 budget, which was nearly the same as the first reading two weeks ago. The budget was unanimously approved.
Very similar to the report after the last meeting, categories and amounts listed include General Government, $515,628.66; Public Safety, $194,285.11; Public Works, $802,351.49; Health and Welfare (Ambulance as the only sub-category), $10,000; Culture and Recreation, $193,862.25; Conservation and Development, $257,563.50; Debt Service, 236,712.32; Miscellaneous, $3,100; and Other Financing Uses, $11,019.47, all adding up to a total city budget of $2,311,985.41.
According to Dotti Oldenkamp, city finance officer, the City just received a $1,000 grant for mosquito control. That was added into the budget under Miscellaneous, bringing the total to $3,100.
Chamber Director Janet Wetovick-Bily reported on all the activity surrounding the Hill City Chamber of Commerce, noting that numbers at the Visitor Information Center in July were on par with last year during the same time period.
