After more than two months of public discussion and debate, City Council members will cast their votes on one of the most challenging budgets in the city’s recent history. The budget recommended to go before the council keeps the tax rate flat.

The budget proposal will close an estimated $59 million gap with a reduction in workforce, furloughs and some service cuts. Despite the reductions in some services, however, the balanced budget effectively maintains public safety and other core city services.

Public comment on the budget proposal will be heard before the final vote, which will take place during the regularly scheduled meeting 10 a.m. tomorrow, Sept. 15, in the City Council Chambers, City Hall, 1000 Throckmorton St.
