Miami officials close budget gap

From today’s Joplin Globe:

MIAMI, Okla. — City leaders are breathing easier after two days of recent meetings spent massaging a $29.3 million budget for 2010-11.

“All of the city’s expenditures are budgeted, and we have a clear picture of the city’s financial stance,” said City Manager Huey Long.

Officials are projecting that the city will begin its fiscal year on July 1 with a total $7.4 million carry-over from the general, utility and special utility funds. At the end of the next fiscal year, those three funds are projected to hold a $6.7 million carry-over for the 2011-12 budget.

“It is a conservative budget,” Long said. “It is based on no growth in sales tax.”
