This  Tuesday, July 21st, at 6:ooP.M. the LaSalle City Council will hold an informal meeting in the council chambers to discuss the appropriation ordinance for our fiscal year which began on May 1st, 2009.  At first blush it appears that we will be appropriating 3.2 million dollars more than expected revenue.  That is about the same as last year’s appropriated amount. On Tuesday we will get into the actual amounts for each department.  I would hope we have a budget planned as well.  As you may know just because something is appropriated for does not mean that it will be spent. However if you don’t appropriate for it you need to come back to the council for approval prior to authorizing the spending.  Plenty of seats will be available so come on down and join in the fun!
