City to run on flat budget

Body

The situation is similar to what the city has been working with for the past few years, said City Manager Matt Sandidge. 

Even with the projected lack of revenue growth, council also was told a number of projects will continue moving forward and plans are being made for more capital improvements when funds allow.
