Responsible Financial Decisions
Debt to Liquidity Ratio
The city has excess cash savings that could be used to offset the budget.
Stabilize Property Taxes
Increase Liquor Store square footage to maximize revenue. This will increase the transfer of funds to lower the general tax levy.
Responsible Investment
Money in investments should always be optimized to maximize the return.
Having your voice heard is a vital part of creating a strong community.
Please send Shawn a message with your thought about making our community better for all residents.
