The Florissant City Council held a first reading on the budget for fiscal year 2012 at last week\u2019s meeting. The city\u2019s fiscal year runs from December 1 to November 30. The council is scheduled to hold a second reading and final vote at the next meeting on November 28.<\/p>\n

Mayor Tom Schneider proposed the budget. The council then held several work sessions and made some changes to Schneider\u2019s proposal. The result is the budget the council will vote on Monday.<\/p>\n

The $30.9 million budget is down from last year\u2019s budget of $32.5 million. The city receives much of its revenue from sales taxes, which are down.<\/p>\n

As in past years, the police department is the largest expenditure, with $10.5 million going to fund it. Next is Public Works, with $4.1 million. The Capital Improvement Fund and Parks Improvement Fund are both budgeted at just under $3 million.<\/p>\n

In other action, the council:<\/p>\n

\u2022 held a public hearing regarding a request by AT&T Mobility for the installation of a cell tower at the Storage Bank at 1475 Dunn Road. This is the facility just East of Washington Street, between Jack in the Box and Grandview. Councilwoman Karen McKay said she was not in favor of the plain tower and requested a flagpole tower.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Approved a request for a transfer of a Special Use Permit from Fortel\u2019s Pizza Den to Delco\u2019s Deli located at 2782 North Highway 67.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Passed a resolution endorsing the U. S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. The resolution urges the federal and state governments to enact programs to reduce pollution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
