Budget lower for next year’s utilities

In news that affects your wal­let, Bryan Munic­i­pal Util­i­ties plans to cut about 2.5 mil­lion dol­lars from next year’s bud­get. This year’s spend­ing was up dra­mat­i­cally because the Elec­tric Department’s gas tur­bine No. 2 needed exten­sive repairs.

The bud­get will go before the Bryan City Coun­cil Bud­get Com­mit­tee for their review. Then it goes to the full coun­cil for final approval. Coun­cil is expected to vote on the bud­get at the meet­ing on Decem­ber 21st.
