City Council members approved the 2015-2016 fiscal year
budget Monday during its meeting by a 5-4 vote.
Huntington Mayor Steve Williams said city revenue would
increase by $650,000, including $1 million for street construction.
He also said the new budget will allow for the addition of
two new field auditors in the finance department.
The approved budget will allow operations in the city’s
police, fire department and public works departments to continue as usual.
Also during the meeting, Williams commented on the two
unrelated shooting deaths of Joshua Martin and Rudy Magana in Huntington this
week.
“The two events are separate from one another, and they’re
tragic,” Williams said. “I have the ultimate faith in the Huntington Police
Department.”
