Marietta City Council to vote on budget
The Marietta City Council will meet Wednesday evening to consider approval of the budget for the 2012 fiscal year, which begins July 1.
The recommended general fund budget of $47.5 million proposes neither a tax increase nor layoffs and furloughs. It is $522,460 smaller than the current budget because of cutbacks on purchases and a hiring freeze in effect the last three years. There are 40 open positions that will remain unfilled, but officials say there have been no service reductions.
The meeting is at 7 p.m. at City Hall, 205 Lawrence St.
