THE BURLINGTON CITY COUNCIL IS IN THE FINAL STAGES OF PUTTING TOGETHER A BUDGET FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

BUT ONE OF THE AREAS IN WHICH THE CITY COULD STILL CUT COSTS IS BUS SERVICE…BY WAY OF A MERGER WITH THE COUNTY SYSTEM.  CITY MANAGER JIM FERNEAU SAID AT THIS WEEK’S COUNCIL WORK SESSION THAT THE SOUTHEAST IOWA REGIONAL PLANNING COMMISSION IS WORKING ON A PROPOSAL IT HOPES TO HAVE READY SOON. 

 

THE COUNCIL…THIS COMING MONDAY…WILL ALSO CONSIDER A $2.6-MILLION REFUNDING BOND ISSUE, MUCH OF WHICH WILL BE USED TO REFINANCE THE DEBT FROM CONSTRUCTION OF THE CITY’S PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING.
