TD City Budget Includes Funds For Blue Zones, Sidewalk Ramps

The Dalles City Council will discuss the proposed 2019-20 budget at its next meeting in two weeks.  The municipal budget committee went over the fiscal plan earlier this month.  Mayor Rich Mays says that process went well, with a substantial amount of time spent on providing funding for different organizations.  Mays said the Blue Zones Project does receive funding in the 2019-20 budget.  Blue Zones is earmarked for $50,000, provided it can show the City progress in other fundraising.  Another element of the budget includes moving $300,000 from the general fund to the street fund for street projects and to help start to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements to install sidewalk ramps.
