GF budget caption
The Grand Forks council received Mayor Brandon Bochenski’s proposed blueprint for a $216 million dollar 2022 budget last night (Monday).
The plan includes a 3% salary bump for employees. Property taxes would remain flat for most homeowners. Utility rates would climb less than 1% – or about 85 cents per month for the average user.
The general fund portion of the budget totals $43.2 million dollars. The bulk of next year’s increase in spending comes from capital improvements – where the budget tops $76 million.
Bochenski says the budget makes sense. “We’ve taken the growth but not residential reevaluation.”
Final budget approval is expected at a meeting on September 7th.
