It’s budget time in the Knox City Clerk’s office. Clerk-Treasurer Jeff Houston told the Knox City Council members last week that the annual audit is being done now, and he is working on the 2012 budget.
Houston said this seems to be a more in-depth audit as the City received over $500,000 in federal grants during the past year.
On July 6th, Houston will meet with the Department of Local Government Finance, and he thought the Council might want to consider a work session before the next Council meeting on July 12th.
Hopefully, Houston said, there could be a 2% salary increase for the employees for 2012, but he didn’t want to promise that until he gets further into the proposed budget.
