Lula City Council unanimously adopted an $808,000 general fund budget for the 2015 fiscal year Monday night, pumping an additional $27,000 into improving local parks. As a result of a rebounding economy and improving revenues, the budget once again includes no property taxes. Lula, with a population of about 2,800, generates most of its revenue through local option sales taxes, or LOST. In fact, more than one-third of the budget, or $276,000, comes from LOST. City Manager Dennis Bergin said Lula also remains dependent on special purpose local option sales tax, or SPLOST, revenue.
