Once again, the mayor skirts the rules and uses city resources to campaign;
Mayor Mike Huether sent a letter on Friday to the City Councilors regarding the state of the City of Sioux Falls. The letter is attached for your review.
In his letter, the Mayor writes that the City of Sioux Falls remains on solid financial ground as we continue to integrate sound business practices into City government. The City’s General Fund reserve ended the year well above the Council’s policy target of 25 percent of annual expenditures. The local economy experienced solid economic growth with the key economic indicators of taxable sales, construction permits, job growth, and unemployment all showing positive trends throughout 2013.
Director of Finance Tracy Turbak will present the preliminary 2013 City of Sioux Falls financial results during the 4 p.m. regularly scheduled City Council Informational Meeting.
