November 20- Mayor prepares for projected $12 million- $13million shortfall
As part of his continuing effort to ensure the city ends each fiscal year with a balanced budget, Mayor Jim Newberry today asked the city’s division directors to propose budget cuts to make up for a large part of an estimated $12 million -$13 million revenue shortfall in the current budget year.
“Like cities and states all over the country, our revenue projections are not meeting expectations and we will once again tighten our belt at city hall,” Newberry said. “Over the past 3 years we have cut the fat out of the city budget. This year we will likely have to cut services to balance the budget. My goal is to devise a plan that has the least impact possible on our citizens, who depend on many of our services.”
November 19- Stormwater outreach unveiled for Lexington
The city is launching a stormwater public education campaign today after a recent public survey revealed that Lexington citizens are largely unaware of Lexington’s water quality issues and of the public’s role in addressing them, Mayor Jim Newberry said.
“We must, as a community, become more educated about storm water and more engaged in improving water quality,” Newberry said. “We must invest in actions to protect our environment, which is critical to the quality of life we enjoy in Lexington.”
