Council ok’s city budget amendments

              At the Clarion City Council meeting on Tuesday May 25, a public hearing was held for various amendments to the 2021 fiscal year budget. City Administrator Clint Middleton highlighted some of the amendments including additional engineering service fees for the design of the water plant and removing the building on Central Avenue. He noted that these amount to around $50,000 in extra expenditures. Councilmember Andy Young added that these additions will not affect taxes and said they are basically equivalent to drawing down of the city checking account.
