Overview for
this Fiscal Year - A Message from the City
Manager
We enter a new
fiscal year with a great deal of excitement! To meet
the growing needs of our City, we have added the following
positions to the 2005-06 Annual Budget: Three new
police officers, a safety dispatcher, a new
firefighter/paramedic, a fire inspector, an associate
planner, and a part-time custodian. These were added
through the General Fund, while not having to cut other
services.
As Selma is
experiencing a great deal of commercial and residential
growth, we are studying the services we provide and how we
can be successful in providing quality service to our
citizens. A public safety ad-hoc committee is
leading the way and will be bringing recommendations to
City Council on our public safety needs and possible means
of funding.
Within the coming
year, we will be opening a skateboard park, continuing the
search for a site for a new regional park, address a
plan for our city capital equipment needs and begin
reconstruction of a recently purchased building to house
the Raisin' Cain Players - our Community Theater.
