The Huntington City Council came
together Monday and approved the budget for the city for the fiscal year of 2015-2016.
According to Mayor Steve Williams,
the new budget includes the addition of two new field auditors in the finance
department.
The revenue for the city will
increase by $650,000, which ensures $1 million in place for street
construction.
The budget passed 5-4 and will go
into effect July 1.
Later in the meeting, Williams made
a point to acknowledge the cities losses: Josh Martin, 21, and Rudy Magana, 28.
“The to events are separate from
one another, and they’re tragic,” Williams said. “Our hearts beak for the
families, and I pity the poor fools we find who conducted the second murder. I
have the ultimate faith in the Huntington Police Department.”
Communications director for the
City of Huntington, Bryan Chambers, asked for any assistance possible from the
community in search of the perpetrator.
