Heart and Soul Fest budget dispute
Summary
A budget amendment restored about $8,344 in off-duty police and fire staffing costs for the Heart and Soul Fest, but the item reopened a fight over whether the mayor's '$13,000 wasted' claim was fair — Commissioner Anderson said no city check ever went to the festival and her unspent $9,000 returned to reserves.
