City to provide budget update before election

A preliminary budget will not be released until after the election, but the city gets a broader look at the finances next week.
 
A city committee voted to hold a special meeting next Monday for a budget update, which will release some numbers.
 
The city has faced pressure to release a preliminary budget from candidates for mayor and council who say that information is important to voters.
 
A more thorough look at the budget will not take place until Nov. 7. The election is Oct. 26.
