The Princeton City Council met Thursday night, approving its new budget and granting two building permits.
According to City Clerk Jean Clapham, the board approved its 2002-2003 budget, which shows anticipated revenues of $1,179,245, with expected expenditures of $1,446,407. Mrs. Clapham said it is hoped the city will begin the year, which starts May 1, with a carry-over of $491,600. She said the largest expenditure is expected to be the cost for a new lift station.
Cliff Gauldin, a council member and a member of the Stacy Multipurpose Center board, asked if the council would have concerns if the Stacy Center pool stayed open from 4 to 8 p.m. during the summer for senior citizens and arthritis and exercise classes. Gauldin said he was checking with the city because the Stacy pool would be in competition with the municipal pool during that time. Council members did not have a problem with the Stacy pool remaining open and Gauldin said the Princeton R-5 Board of Education will have to approve the idea before it can be implemented.
In other business, building permits were approved for Connie Schmidt, who is constructing a deck at 807 Ada St., and Philip Middleton, who is constructing a storage shed at 900 Elm St. Council members agreed to send one letter to a property owner for unkempt property and approved a temporary caterer?s license for Ron Matthews, doing business as The Shed, for either the weekend of April 19-20 or April 26-27.
Council members approved an agreement with Harden, Cummins, Moss and Miller for the audit of the city?s waterworks system, for the year ending April 2002.
The council held a closed session of legal matters and real estate, with no announcement made.
The next regular meeting is scheduled for May 6.
