Mona's budget for the coming fiscal year needs to be adopted by June 26.

"We have to adopt the budget for 2002 and amend the budget for 2001 by the fourth Tuesday of June," said Rick Schnurr, council member.

The preliminary budget will no longer show payments for the city's new fire truck, since payment has been turned over to the fire district. That will free some funds for the city to use for other needs.

"Last year we purchased a snowplow from the Class C road funds," said Schnurr. "This year we hope to improve more of our roads."

Overlays are planned for several streets in the community, he said. However, those refinishing projects will not be done until the irrigation company completes the secondary irrigation system installation.

"It wouldn't make much sense to do the work and then find out that a street needed to be cut for a crossing," said Schnurr.

Schnurr said Greg Ogden would be on-hand to discuss the budgets for the two fiscal years at the June 12 meeting.

"Tonight (May 22) was the council night for the public to review the preliminary budget," he said.

Proper legal noticing will allow the budget to be adopted on June 26. At that time, the 2001 budget will be amended.
