Volume 30 • Issue 78 . I spring? . ' Proposed budget ' ' Laure~ Creelonor~ lcre,[email protected] . Lynchburg City Manager Kimball Payne announced the City of Lynch bµrg's proposed budget for 2014 on March 12. The budget includes funding for many different areas in the city, ac
rcording to Payne's proposal. I "We've had a number of difficult bud gets over the last four years, especially January of 2009," Payne said. "We've made a number of adjustments, such as cutting spending and erasing tax increas es in the new budget and including a pay raise." According to Payne, th~ proposed bud get includes money for the general, capi tal, airport, water, sewer and storm water funds, among others. Without the begin I ning funds and transfers between them, the total amounts to $318.1 million. The 2014 budget is different than pre l. vious budgets. The 2013 budget proposal totaled $294.6 million, and the 2012 bud get amounted to $306.6 million. The obvious increase betWeen the bud get proposals is due to more spending on capital projects, fleet expenditures and the general fund. According to Payne, the main goal for the new budget proposal was to maintain ,' a level of. services, public safety and fire emergency rescue service!Y, as well as to improve parks and the city in general. This budget mainly affects . teachers, schools and city employees, Payne said.
