The consensus among the Gainesville City Council is that the proposed 2016 fiscal year budget, unveiled by City Manager Kip Padgett on Thursday, is in good shape. The $30.7 million general fund spending plan includes no property tax increases, no major service cuts, and includes debt payments, plus $800,000 for employee salary and merit increases. Moreover, no reserve funds are being used for one-time operating expenses, only capital purchases.
