DART to finalize budget
The Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority (DART) Commission will approve its fiscal year 2012 fixed-route budget and tax levy rates at tonight’s monthly meeting at 5 p.m. at the DART offices, 1100 DART Way.
The transit authority is projecting a $1.35 million budget gap for the fiscal year due to a 9.2 percent increase in expenses compared with the FY2011 revised budget. The projected gap will be closed by using money from the reserve budget.
