City Council members voted to schedule three public hearings to address the 2020-21 budget ordinance during their business meeting last night.
The meetings are to focus on a possible 7.5 percent property tax increase overriding the state’s property tax cap along with spending cuts to close a projected $700,000 gap in the City’s budget.
Most of the projected gap came from the Governor’s tentative state budget which looked to take approximately $440,000 in Video Lottery Terminal money from Batavia Downs Gaming which usually goes to the City.
According to Council President Eugene Jankowski the local legislature is not just dealing with the potential loss of the Video Lottery Terminal funds but also was anticipating to spend more on items related to bail reform…

If adopted, the tax rate would go from $8.92 to $9.60 per thousand assessed valuation
The public hearings have been scheduled for 7 p.m. Monday Feb. 24 at City Hall.
