The city of Gainesville’s budget for next year will not recommend a tax hike for residents. Gainesville City Council members will take up the city’s proposed fiscal year 2014 budget at their meeting Tuesday, but City Manager Kip Padgett gave them a presentation at Thursday’s work session. The city’s budget for next year is about $29.2 million, but there are some unknowns that could affect the budget down the road, including the current court disputes with Hall County over the revenue distribution of local option sales taxes and special purpose local option sales taxes.
