BERLIN — The City Council adopted the budget resolution at its Monday night meeting, formally approving the FY24 budget for the city, a total budget of $53,913,293.
The budget was amended to reflect an increase of $62,608 in capital, or longer term, projects that had been put in the wrong column of the ledger or digital software. It is now in the correct budgeted location.
