Eclectic officials working through the budget

Cliff Williams / TPI The Eclectic Town Council is seeking public comment about the town’s recycling center. The council is in the budgeting process and trying to determine if the extra costs associated with the center are worth while.

It’s a process every municipality goes through each year — a budget.

It helps guide councilmembers, mayor and other officials through revenues and expenditures for the next fiscal year. It’s done department by department. It is no different in Eclectic where the town council and staff are about two-thirds through the process.
