The Thornton City Council approved the annual budget and passed a water subsidy plan during their regular meeting on Monday, March 3.
Following a public hearing, the council approved a budget for fiscal year 2014-15. The regular property levy for the new budget will be 13.92 per $1000 valuation, up .35 from the previous year due to increases in insurance and workers comp costs and a drop in the city’s property values.
