Bottom line

City commissioners will have more discussion about the 2009 city budget.

Background

Commissioners are expected to largely decide whether to follow City Manager David Corliss’ recommended budget, which would eliminate property tax funding for the city’s public transit system. Under that scenario, voters would need to approve a new sales tax in November to keep the transit system operating in 2009.
