The city of Mt. Carmel’s new fiscal year starts May 1st and at their meeting last week, the city council heard from city clerk Ryan Turner who says the new $4.2 million budget won’t allow for much wiggle room…
Turner said the city has had close to $250,000 in insurance claims from storm damage. He said that fact is causing city departments on turning in certain insurance which could drive rates up even more. Other areas that are costlier for the city are health insurance and utilities. But all in all, Turner said city finances are “doing great.”
