The Greeley City Council went over the Proposed Budget for this upcoming year at tonight's meeting.
The budget totaled at $266,577,728.
The budget included an average pay increase of 2.6% for all general employees, as well as an 11% pay increase for all police dispatchers.
In the $181.5 million revenue that is predicted to be produced in 2012, $101.8 million of that will come from Charges for Services, which is the largest portion of revenue with 56.1%.
The large majority of expenditures by fund will be going towards water; 70.5% of all capital projects will be water related. Among the projects that were mentioned in the budget was the Bellvue Transmission Line, which was by far the largest and most expensive of all the project expenditures.
Near the end of the meeting there was some dispute over why the council members had not received the proposed budget at an early time in order to go over the items listed. Council member Mike Finn was one of two council members who stated his anger with certain aspects of the budget as well as its delayed arrival.
"I am too disappointed to receive this last minute," said council member Donna Sapienza.
The City Council will meet again on Oct. 18 to further discuss the budget, as well as make a motion to accept or reject it.
