The budget is guided by the MWRD strategic plan.
The capital budget is up 8%.
Perkovich and board President Kari Steele both thank staff for their work on the budget.
She's looking forward to new programs related to the affirmative action ordinance they're working on.
MWRD doesn't have many heated debates. Their work is usually less controversial. They also do working groups outside of board meetings.
