The Baldwin City Council is proposing a 10 percent reduction in the fiscal year 2009-10 budget. The proposed FY 2009-10 budget totals $1.5 million compared to $1.7 million in FY 2008-09.

This is the information that was presented at a public hearing on the proposed budget held during Monday’s council meeting.

Council member Jeff Murray said there are no cost of living raises for city employees in the proposed 2009-10 budget.

Council member Ray Holcomb said, “We appreciate all the department heads working on the budget and they did a good job of trimming the budget to the bare bones.”

Mayor Mike Kelley said a total of $215,681 was cut from the budget this year.

No citizens spoke in favor or in opposition of the proposed 2009-10 budget.
