City gets budget
Tiffin has a proposed 2009 budget, sort of. A less than enthusiastic Tiffin City Council introduced the proposed 2009 budget of close to $36.5 million during its Monday evening meeting, but with the understanding cuts will continue in an attempt to balance the budget. Work will continue to bring the projected negative budgets in street maintenance and the general capital budget into the black. “We won’t know until the end of the year what carryovers we’ll have,” Mayor Jim Boroff said. The proposed budget for street maintenance has a negative balance of more than $100,000 and general capital improvements is about $79,000 into the red. Most years city officials continue to adjust the budget after it is introduced, but this year’s budget brings concerns to some council members. One of those is Pete Galipeau, Council At-Large, who said he fears the city may have cut too deeply into capital when they should be looking at payroll.
