Placeholder Image
The Gainesville Police Department has a current budget of about $8.6 million, and Chief Brian Kelly said he expected funding to be similar in the 2015 fiscal year. City Council continued its series of departmental presentations Thursday as officials work through funding requests in preparation for the fiscal year 2015 budget. City Manager Kip Padgett said he has asked all departments to keep their budget requests flat as he expects this year’s general fund budget of more than $29 million to increase only slightly next year.
