Road maintenance underfunded in City budget
HUTTO – In a budget that allocated $3 million for improvements to Fritz Park, only $750,000 was set aside for maintaining city streets. The $351 million fiscal year 2024 budget presented by city staff found room for items including a new street sweeper and a shower being installed in City Hall, but fell short of the approximately $1.2 million staff said was needed for road maintenance. 09/02/2023 08:48 AM
