Hazen City Commission finalizes smaller budget

Posted 9/21/11 (Wed)

The Hazen City Commission breezed through most of its agenda at its regular meeting Monday evening before pausing to convene a public hearing to approve their 2012 budget.
The finalized budget includes projected 2012 General Fund revenues of about $1.19 million – down from an expected $1.29 million in 2011. The 7.9-percent decrease is due mostly to a projected drop in coal severance tax, city auditor Sandra Bohrer noted.
