The Patterson City Council met in special session to amend its 2012 budget by nearly $1 million in overspending.
The city was budgeted to finish the year at $450,924; it finished negative $524,929 for a total of $975,853 off budget.
The reason they overspent is credited to the following issues: Mold remediation & temporary relocation cost ($200K), mechanic shop ($150K), increase in fuel ($50k), increase in retirement cost and general insurance ($125K).
