The Dalles City Council approved the City’s budget for Fiscal Year 2018-19. It was approved with only minor adjustments from what came out of the municipal budget committee. Mayor Steve Lawrence called it the best budget the City has adopted since he took the position, noting reserves and contingency have been fully funded and projects are being done within the resources the City has. In other business, the Council approved a contract with consultants KPFF to update the financial figures for The Dalles Riverfront Access Project for the City Council and Urban Renewal Board to decide if it wants to pursue it.
