HUNTINGTON BEACH
The City Council, on a 7-0 vote, formally adopted the city’s proposed two-year budget. The budget projected for next year totals more than $240 million, a boost of $7 million over this year. Despite plans to spend more money on city services through 2001, city staff estimates that residents will not be forced to pay more taxes or fees. But the budget does not take into account the anticipated $600-million shortfall for $1.2 billion in infrastructure needs over the next 20 years.
