Idaho Falls City Council members are working fast and furious to figure out this year’s fiscal budget.

They met at Mayor Jared Fuhriman’s office in hopes of determining the city’s top priorities and where the money will come from to access city needs.

One of the problems that need to be attended to is where the city council will hold future meetings.

The city electric building needs more room and the city council can no longer meet there.

Council discussed putting anywhere from 20 to 60 thousand dollars into modifying the City Annex Building.

Second, the city accessed the fire departments needs of new flooring.

The council says they would like to devote anywhere from 30 to 60 thousand dollars to fix the problem, and possibly pull funds from 60 thousand saved for repairing the Dispatch Center.

The council also discussed the importance of the Ball Ventures Development and the park that developers wish to add into our community.

Ball Ventures is contributing 500 thousand dollars to this project.

The city council says they would like to do what it can with these funds, and not contribute anymore.

City council would also like to see funds go toward the remodeling of intersections like Hitt and First, as well as Shoup and A Street, but nothing is set in stone just yet.
