UTICA, N.Y. — The proposed 2017-18 budget for the City of Utica totals $69 million and comes “with no tax increase.”
Utica Mayor Robert Palmieri’s proposal increases spending by 3.5 percent compared to the City’s 2009-2010 budget nine years ago, “a testament to the City’s fiscal discipline,” the City of Utica boasted in a news release issued Thursday.
The Utica Common Council is now reviewing the budget.
