The Eureka Springs City Council approved the citys 2021 budget at its regular meeting on Monday, Jan. 11.
Mayor Butch Berry kicked off the discussion by explaining that all the new council members received a copy of the budget. He said the budget is strictly a budget.
Its something to go by. It kind of sets our goals and standards for the coming year, Berry said. We will be looking at it again mid-year. If anything comes up, heaven forbid, like last year in March, we can always make changes at that point in time.
New council member Bill Ott asked who would bring that information to the councils attention and Berry said he would. The council will also have a monthly budget workshop, Berry said, to keep everyone updated on the state of the citys finances. When the council members see the budget at those workshops, Berry said, the sales tax report will be two months behind.

We have an employee that has worked for us for two years and did not receive a paycheck, Foster said. I feel like this is something that needs to be rectified and handled.

Foster said she spoke with Mayor Butch Berry, who told her the job posting would stay on the citys website until Jan. 31.

The Eureka Springs City Council spent much of its Dec. 14 meeting debating whether or not to waive late fees on water and sewer, but the matter never came to a vote.
Council member Harry Meyer brought the issue to the table, saying light and gas companies have all waived some fees. Meyer acknowledged the citys moratorium on the I&I fee, which council member Susan Harman said adds $10 to every residential water bill and $50 to every commercial water bill. Still, Meyer said, he wanted to see the council vote to waive late fees on all water and sewer bills.
