These nonprofits got a little slice of Mount Shasta s budget
Mount Shasta Herald
Mount Shasta city councilors last Monday heard the city s budget is in the black – despite challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic – and decided to allocate funds to the Visitor s Center, the Siskiyou Economic Development Council, Meals on Wheels, and Sisson Museum.
Although the city has suffered loss, finance director Muriel Howarth Terrell said that loss is balancing out with new income from sales, Transient Occupancy Tax and property tax dollars because people continue to travel to Mount Shasta, and local people are shopping close to home.
“The difficulty is, yes we are doing better in sales and property taxes – but not on expenditures,” said Howarth Terrell.
