Council travel comes out of a budgeted line item; changes aim to save taxpayers money through early registration and economical travel.

Using an existing tree could save the cost of buying a large Christmas tree.
Bylaws and new event ideas
Sponsorships could defray pumpkin and event costs against the newly increased $10,000 budget.
Clock corner brick wall damage
Up to $2,000 coming out of a DDA budget line for the repairs.
Abandoned garage sale signage as blight
Any new registration or fine system would likely require staff time but no major expenditure was cited.

Tap fees are roughly $2,500 total per new hookup; changes could affect new development costs and future rates.
