The meeting focused on reviewing department-by-department spending rather than adopting the final budget. The Water Department proposed one additional position as part of an internal restructuring, while Solid Waste salary and wage costs were discussed at approximately $821,000, compared with $628,000 in the prior modified budget, largely because of overtime and holiday-related costs. The council said it would address the final capital budget and expected tax impact at a later meeting.
