Mayor’s annual budget message

>Anacortes Mayor Dean Maxwell, pictured above speaking to a Chamber of Commerce audience, this week delivered a 2011 city budget preview. Elements of the balanced budget include a water treatment plant expansion billed as “the largest public works project in city history.”

The mayor’s budget statement concludes in part: “This current economy has been most challenging and unpredictable for each of us and for our community as a whole. Our success and our strengths to date are reflective of our ongoing commitment to quality infrastructure and our diverse community and business makeup. We are fortunate to have an engaged and collaborative city council, professional staff and involved citizens who are also committed volunteers. You, our citizens, have helped us to provide services to our community that are well above our budgetary ability. Thank you!”
