City Council Chambers, City Hall, 10 N. 2nd St.
Council has reopened the 2016 budget and will hold the first hearing for new council members to consider any changes. Brad Koplinski, who lost his council seat in last year’s election, tried to slash the administration’s budget last month in order to avoid a tax hike on city workers. The administration dismissed the proposals as unrealistic, pointing out that several of the suggested cuts were contractual obligations of the city. Koplinski was unsuccessful, but the new council members could theoretically revisit some of the cuts now that the budget has been reopened.
