Jamestown City Council begins its review of the proposed $38.93 million dollar 2022 executive budget tonight. Staff from the Public Works, Parks, Police and Fire Departments will present their budget requests to all council members at a budget work session that begins at 6:30pm tonight. There is no tax increase in the proposed budget, but spending is up $3.37 million dollars.
Council also will begin its review of the proposed spending of $28 million dollars in American Rescue Plan monies. While there is a resolution to adopt the full plan, there are several other resolutions included in this month’s voting packet related to ARP monies including the hiring of a project manager in the comptroller’s office and the hiring of a communications coordinator in the mayor’s office. Both positions would be funded with ARP monies.
