Ann Arbor City Administrator Milton Dohoney Jr. presented his budget recommendations to the Council on Monday.
The nearly $140 million general fund budget doesn’t reduce any services provided to Ann Arbor residents. It includes $500,000 for additional contract services for snow removal, including $100,000 for equipment to clear snow from bike lanes.
Dohoney says many of the budget proposals focus on public service, including a new Emergency Operation Center and firehouse.
“We’re very happy to be suggesting support for the EOC and a new fire station. We’ve got some things that need to come together for that to happen. We’re also making a major effort to improve customer service for the public, and, hopefully, Council will be supportive of those things.”
The City Council will hold a public hearing on the budget at its next meeting on May 6th and likely vote to finalize the budget on May 20th.
