Police Department top funding priority
by Richard Dyer | Apache Junction/Gold Canyon Independent
Law enforcement — including the Paws and Claws animal shelter, patrol cars and uniformed officers — is the top funding priority in the City of Apache Junction’s 2020-21 budget, as it was the previous six years.
The $13.1 million public-safety section in the budget includes an increase of more than $797,000 over the previous fiscal year’s expenses and $1.5 million from a gifts and grants fund.
Total budgeted General Fund expenditures for fiscal year 2020-21 — such as the mayor and City Council, to the city manager, the library and public safety — are $31,568,170.
