Bulk of Alpine budget goes to roads/capital projects

By Linda Petersen
ALPINE -- On June 13, the city council approved the 2017-2018 budget. Total General Fund revenues and expenses are each $5,490,761. A proposed electronic meter read system for the culinary and pressurized water systems has been put on hold pending a grant application by the city.

At the public hearing, resident Jessica Smuin asked why the Alpine Days budget had increased from $40,000 to $134,000. City Manager Shane Sorensen said in the past the city would budget about $40,000, then expect the Alpine Days chairperson to try to raise additional funds. If insufficient funds were raised, the city would pick up the shortfall. This year the council decided to fund the full cost and then recoup funds from donations and revenue sales, he said.
