The Atlantic City Council, Wednesday is expected to act on a Resolution accepting the 2013 budget for Atlantic Municipal Utilities. AMU says its total budget for 2013 is up 12.1-percent from the current year. The utility says they’ve seen a 35.5-percent increase in electric production costs and a 21.5-percent increase in the cost of transmitting electricity. If the Council feels AMU’s budget report is not detailed enough, or fails to provide a complete financial picture, they have the option of declining it.

In other business, the Atlantic City Council will hear a report from Parks and Rec Director Roger Herring. They’ll also act on a resolution accepting work on construction of the City Street Maintenance Garage, and approval of various change orders for HMA street resurfacing and the Wastewater Treatment Plant improvement projects.

The City Council meeting begins at 5:30-p.m. Wednesday, at City Hall.
