The Bartlesville City Council approves their next fiscal year budget during their regular session meeting last night.

 The city expects to receive approximately $31.3 million in revenue to the general fund for Fiscal Year 2023-24, which begins July 1. The city also receives revenue from enterprise funds and capitol improvements to be used in the budget.

 Mayor Dale Copeland says city staff does a great job making sure the budget is balanced every year.

 The City Council also approved a listing of potential bond projects that will be presented to voters, most likely in October. The proposed general obligation bond, $17.6 million over four years, would include $12 million for streets, $3 million for buildings and facilities — including just over $2.3 million to replace Fire Station #2 at Hensley and Virginia, and $2.17 milion for parks and recreation.

 City staff says if voters approve the bond issue, property taxes will not go up since the millage rate would remain the same.
