Also the PUBLIC HEARING on the FY 2014 Budget will be held on March 12, 2013, at the University Club, 7:00 PM. For more information about the budget, check out the U-Heights Finance Committee page. Our city budgets begin July 1 and end June 30. Budgets must be approved by council and sent to the state for certification prior to March 15 yearly. A major change in the FY 14 budget is that we will not continue to receive Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) funds. Since 2009 the city has received approximately $10,000 per month from LOST. This represents a nearly 10% revenue decline from the FY13 budget.
