De Pere Adopts 2010 Budget

Press Gazette:

Overall, the council unanimously adopted a $15.35 million general fund budget for 2010, up about 1.41 percent from $15.14 million for 2009.

Members approved a $10.56 million total tax levy to support the budget, up 2.49 percent from $10.30 million from last year. The increases mean the owner of a home valued at $150,000 will owe about $898.50 in city property taxes, compared to $885 a year ago.

They discussed worker furloughs, but didn't take action on this.  They also reduced brush pick up.
