City budget passes

The FY14 city of Worcester budget has passed tonight, including the following amendment:

COMMUNICATION of the City Manager recommending Two Hundred Fifty Five thousand Dollars and No Cents ($255,000.00) in increased estimated local receipts from State Reimbursements, Revenue Account #454005, McKinney Vento, be appropriated to Account #500-91000, Worcester Public School Personal Services, to be used to increase the Fiscal 2014 Worcester Public Schools that are eligible for net school spending. (Tabled - Rushton June 11, 2013)

For those keeping track, that leaves us about $170,000 short of Net School Spending, 'though the Council has expressed their intention of putting $170,000 of free cash towards the FY14 Worcester Public Schools budget.
