City leaders reviewed next year’s spending plan and asked that major items be brought back for public review and a formal hearing on July 14. That means proposed staff changes, fee increases, reserve (contingency) amounts, and many proposed capital projects (from police and fire equipment to water renewal and airport work) will be open for public comment before final approval. “Contingency” refers to reserve money set aside for unexpected costs or specific future needs.
