Draft FY 2009/10 budget now online

The draft budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 is now available online at www.lodi.gov. 

Here are the basics: General Fund spending is down to $39.8 million. Nearly every department budget is getting hacked because of falling revenue.

The first regular City Council meeting on the budget is Wednesday (May 20). The Council will not adopt the budget any sooner than the June 3 meeting.
