Cheyenne City Council Reviews FY 2013 Budget
The Cheyenne City Council held a work session on the proposed Fiscal Year 2013 Budget Friday. Mayor Rick Kaysen told the council that the total General Fund Budget as proposed for FY 2013 is $49,560,879 a 1.8 percent decrease from the original FY 2012 budget.
Kaysen said a challenge in the FY 2013 Budget was the loss of approximately $1.1 million from the state as a direct distribution. In addition to the reduced amount, the 2012 budget session of the Wyoming Legislature added language that limited the use of the direct distribution funds.
