Mayor Butch Berry mentioned in the budget workshop before the city council meeting Monday that the city had already made the yearly lump sum payments for Municipal League legal expenses, accounting software and worker’s compensation, so the balance sheet will appear unfavorably skewed, but figures will normalize during the year. He said the city installed new light bulbs at the police and fire departments that will pay for themselves through energy savings, and he intends to do the same at the Auditorium. Overall, the city is about $15,000 in the black this year.
