The Lilburn City Council unanimously approved the fiscal year 2015-2016 budget Monday with a decrease of 3.1 percent from the previous fiscal year. The millage rate, to be approved July 13, also will represent a decrease from 4.45 mils to 4.43 mils.
The FY2015-2016 budget totals $12,914,318, including $6,975,353 for operations, $240,200 for the capital projects fund, and $5,698,765 for 2009 and 2014 SPLOST funds.
The proposed budget funds the addition of body cameras for police officers and a part-time court clerk to expedite municipal court hearings. Using SPLOST funding, the city is building a new city hall/library project with Gwinnett County. Also using SPLOST, the city will invest in a multi-use trail on Killian Hill Road, sidewalks in the Hillcrest area, and other trail and park enhancements.
