The City's fiscal year begins July 1. Jordan explained that the fiscal year 2023 General Fund budget of $43.3 million is a 7 percent increase over the current year's budget but less than the 8.5 percent national inflation rate. Jordan said this shows fiscal responsibility since this budget also includes mandated pension obligations and competitive wages. Jordan added that to balance the budget it required a transfer of approximately $2.5 million from reserves. The Board then discussed items included in the Investment Fund, a separate fund from the General Fund, that focuses on economic development, community development, debt service, grant-in-aid funding, and capital improvement. The budget includes funding increases for items including street paving and city facility improvements/maintenance. There was discussion on several funding recipients including Sprocket, Community Scholarship Program, and Industrial Development Authority (IDA). The construction of eight pickleball courts at Noble Park also was discussed. After design and construction bidding, the expectation is that the pickleball courts could be built this fall."
