TD Council Approves 15-16 Budget

The Dalles City Council approved a municipal budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year.  Mayor Steve Lawrence says he is comfortable with the spending plan, noting he feels like the Council changed priorities to meet what citizens want.  Councilors did decide to not give cost of living increases to exempt employees, but also decided to leave health insurance benefits intact rather than following a recommendation to reduce them.  Lawrence says they are going to embark on a study of the best route to take on compensation and insurance issues in the future.
