CITY ELECTION PROFILES, WARD 9: KENT KALLEMBACH
Placeholder Image
Q: In expectation of falling revenues (such as state shared revenue) and increasing costs (such as health care and pension plan costs), what should the City of Monroe do to balance its budget next year?The proposed decrease in state shared revenues along with the proposed property tax freeze as part of the budget repair bill will present challenges during the budgeting process for next year. The shortfall in revenues will be partially offset by the requirement of employees, other than sworn officer union employees, to contribute toward their pension plan. Additionally, requiring employees to contribute more toward their health insurance will be addressed.
