Input is received from all of CRPUs three Divisions/Work Centers and revenues and expenses are balanced. She reviewed some assumptions and highlights, including the annual 2% property tax increase, the minimum wage increase to $15 in January, increasing PERS contributions and the increase in Recreation revenues.
