BLUE EARTH After having postponed the final decision on the 2021 budget and levy at an earlier meeting in December, the Blue Earth City Council voted on the final numbers at their meeting this past Monday night.
The levy totals $1,723,704, which is a 3-percent increase over the current year’s amount.
The levy includes $738,314 for the General Fund and $985,390 for the Debt Service Fund.
Before the vote on the levy, the council reviewed their list of goals for 2021.
Councilman John Huisman outlined reasons why he thought the budget should include funds so the economic development specialist contract with CEDA (Community Economic Development Associates) could be increased from four days per week to five.
