Budget adopted by City of Columbia for Fiscal Year 2014-15 2014-06-25 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo City of Columbia chart. The City Council of Columbia, KY adopted the budget above for Fiscal Year July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 at a special called meeting Tuesday, June 24, 2014. The budget is termed a balanced one, but the General Fund is balanced by a reduction in the fund balance carried forward, as is, to a lesser extent, the City Gas Department. The vote was 5-1 for the budget. Councillor Charles Grimsley voted no, as a protest against a meager $14,626 outlay for Parks & Recreation. The largest component of the General Fund budget is for police, $1,052,958; followed by $430,026 for general government; streets get $269,357; then $110,565 for fire; and $14,626 for Parks and Recreation. The budget shows increases in fund balances for Sanitation and slightly over $100,000 drop in fund balances for the Gas Department.

Precious Cats free to good home 2014-06-25 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Megan Hadley. Megan Hadley writes: I have two striped tabbies, theyre both males that are very social and friendly. I rescued them when they were a few weeks old and bottle fed them, so they love people. They do need more attention then I can give them right now, and I don't think it's fair to them so I would like to find a better home for them. They don't have to be taken together although that is preferred. I'm not sure how they would do as barn cats, but as long as they do get human interaction regularly I think they might be OK. They come with litter boxes, a bag of food, bed, toys, treats and a kitty condo. They have had their vaccines for this year. The day they leave my home is going to be sad for me because they are so sweet. They're everything you want in a cat!! Please call/text me if you're interested. 270-250-5900. - Megan Hadley See this and other pet ads in CM ANIMALS Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
