It’s been delayed, yet again. Common Council delaying passing the 2013 budget in order to add some tweaks with the Shared Risk Plan. The finalisation is now scheduled for Monday night.
Mayor Mel Norton says it was yesterday afternoon when they realized some fine tuning needed to be made. He says he’s happy the budget is scheduled to pass Monday night, although he would’ve liked it to pass last night. He says he’d rather see all the fine tuning completed, than have an error that would come back to council.
Common Council’s original date to pass the 2013 budget was before Christmas, but the mayor says they’re still way ahead of last years council, who were still having budget talks in February.
Norton says it’s likely the budget will be finalized on January 7th without any changes.
