Link to October 7 Apleton Post-Crescent article, "Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna's budget proposal closes $3 million deficit".
Excerpt: Mayor Tim Hanna presented a budget plan Wednesday he says makes key operations more efficient and keeps the city in a safe spot.
The proposed $146.2 million budget closes a $3 million deficit the city was carrying heading into 2011.
"I can't think of any surprises in here," Hanna told the Common Council. "You've heard a lot of what we've talked about. Those changes are in here."
City leaders have scheduled a full-day to review and debate of the budget Oct. 30 and may continue discussion on Nov. 1. A public hearing follows on Nov. 3, and the Common Council adopts the budget on Nov. 10.
Hanna's 714-page plan calls for significant changes. It guts the parks and recreation department, creates staffing pools in the public works department for greater flexibility and centralizes customer service at City Hall.
