Manhattan city commissioners on Tuesday will consider adding more than $2 million to the 2024 budget “to allow accumulated monies to be spent,” according to city documents.
Commissioners will have a public hearing on the topic, as state law allows municipal governments to amend budgeted funds prior to the end of a budget year under a process similar to the approval of the budget itself. That is, they have to have a public hearing at least 10 days after the publication of the budget certificate in The Mercury.
City staff members are recommending increasing the budget from $23.2 million to $25.3 million.
