The Jefferson City Council met Tuesday night in regular session.

The Council set August 24th for a public hearing on the plans, specifications, form of contract and cost estimate for the Greene County Animal Shelter. Next, the Council reviewed the 2022 fiscal year budget actuals. City Administrator Mike Palmer said the general fund revenues were higher than expected, due to a $100,000 increase in property taxes, mainly due to the commercial backfill by the state. General fund expenses were lower than expected by $200,000. Following the review, it was mentioned that the financial committee may propose creating an emergency fund account.

The Council also reviewed the 2023 fiscal year budget schedule and priority surveys, along with setting September 28th as the priority budget workshop date.
