Flandreau city’s budget for 2022 will include repairs at the aquatic center and funding of economic development, after some revisions last week.
The proposed $6.33 million overall budget was presented to city council members in a special session that included explanations of all department expenses. The budget is slightly less that the proposed revenues for the year and slightly less than last year’s budget.
The city gets 70 percent of its money from property taxes and sales taxes, which are projected to remain strong.
“The good news is financially the city of Flandreau financially is in fairly good condition,” said Mayor Dan Sutton.
Council members voted to include $20,000 in funding for the Flandreau Development Corporation, which was not part of the original budget, because the group does economic development for the city. Sutton broke a tie vote to fund FDC after aldermen Brad Bjerke, Karen Tufty and Mike Fargen voted no. Aldermen Bob Pesall, Jason Unger and Mark Ekern supported to budget inclusion.
Council members also added $10,000 to the pool’s budget to repairs slides.
