Summary
City Manager Mark Musselwhite presented a proposed 2025 draft budget carrying a 7.16 millage rate and noted a separate package of additional items requested by the Fire Department; council was invited to submit questions before the next meeting.
City Manager Mark Musselwhite presented the Demorest draft 2025 budget at the Oct. 1 work session, proposing a millage rate of 7.16. Musselwhite addressed line-item questions from council members and provided an additional budget list for items requested by the Fire Department.
The Fire Department’s requested items were presented as a separate package; the transcript does not list specific line-item totals beyond noting that a separate proposal exists. Mayor Jerry Harkness urged council members to contact Musselwhite with questions, recommendations or concerns before the next meeting so staff can refine the budget prior to adoption steps.
No formal vote on the millage rate or budget occurred at the work session. The presentation was informational and intended to solicit feedback ahead of future meetings where formal action would occur.
