Martinez on city finances
question:
If city revenues decline, how should the city balance its budget? Would you cut services? If so, which ones? Would you raise taxes, fees or charges? If so, which ones? answer:
The City of Porterville at this time is physically sound due to responsible budgeting, hiring freezes, and business growth.
I would not look at cutting services for the city or raising taxes I believe we could tighten up by working in partnership with other entities to find cost saving measures for Porterville Citizens. The City Of Porterville also has a lock box account to assist in times of restraints.
