(The Brawley City Council met this week)...At the meeting the council approved the budget timeline.

It was presented by the City Finance Director. She said the new budget would included the new tax increase approved in November. She said it would add about $3 million to the new budget. The new tax goes into effect in April. Also at the meeting, the council extended the reconstruction of the runway at the Municipal Airport. They actually extended the contract with AE Consulting Incorporated for professional engineering services. That allows for additional design work and addresses unforseen challenges in the original timeline. They say that will extend the runway work through May 2026.
