Hopkinsville City Council to redo first reading of budget

Hopkinsville City Council will have to redo first reading of its operational budget for the upcoming fiscal year when it meets Tuesday night and a special-called meeting is scheduled for final reading.

First reading of an amended version of the budget ordinance is on the agenda for the 6 p.m. Tuesday meeting. Deputy City Clerk Anna Mohon says Step F of the pay scale was incorrect in the ordinance that was approved June 5. The budget totals do not change in the ordinance; it’s simply a matter of correcting the error.

The special-called meeting will be 5:45 p.m. Thursday, immediately before Hopkinsville City Council Committee of the Whole’s regular session.
