Manhattan city commissioners on Tuesday unanimously voted to increase the 2024 budget by more than $2 million, going from an original $23.2 million to $25.3 million.
The areas of increase are for employee benefits, fire pension, sales tax, special street and highway, and transient guest tax funds.
City staff members said if employee benefits and fire pension balances are negative, sales tax would be the first line of transfer, but the remaining money would come from the general fund.
