Major cuts on horizon for city. (Fond du Lac Reporter, 9/23/2011)
Excerpt: City Manager Tom Herre said restrictive levy limits and scheduled increases in debt service payments over the next several years would mean there would be less of the property tax levy to fund general fund operating expenses.
Herre said the city cannot continue providing current levels of services while repaying the debt principal and interest for capital items for the next five years (and previous years) while meeting the levy limit requirements.
"Additional revenue from new user fees or significant expense or service reductions will be required in 2012 and the next several years in order to meet these known financial conditions," Herre said.
