From the Terre Haute Tribune Star:
From hybrid buses to golf course fairways to sewage billing woes, the Terre Haute City Council got loads of information Tuesday from more than a half dozen city department heads.
The more than two-hour meeting in City Hall involved reports from nine department heads, including Brad Miller, transportation director, Brad Speidel, information technology director and Chuck Ennis, city engineer.
These and other department heads answered questions from council members concerning each department’s projected 2014 budget.
Tuesday night’s meeting was the second night in a row of such discussions, adding up to more than four hours in total.
“It’s OK,” said Mayor Duke Bennett when asked after the hearing how he felt it had gone. This was the first time since he was elected in 2007 that such hearings have taken place before the council. “I mean, really, I can answer every question,” he said. “I know the budget inside out. They just wanted to see the department head and see if they had anything to add. I think it worked just fine.”
