City of Gadsden
Operating Budget
Fiscal Year 2015

Budget Message
The past three years have been characterized in many different ways. Fiscal year 2012 was a year of change, as
many difficult decisions were made by the administration to secure a future for this City. Fiscal year 2013 was
a year of stability as little change took place in our City. Fiscal year 2014 was a year of progress as we began to
see things happen in our City. Yet, at the same time, it was a year of challenge, as City elections were held in
August 2014.
One of the greatest accomplishments in 2014 was the completion of the Weaver Tech building that houses
Municipal Court, as well as an East Gadsden Police precinct. This will greatly help to enhance safety in the
East Gadsden area. The opening of a fully functional recycling center has also been a welcomed benefit for our
citizens. Property located at 2010 Locust Street was donated to the City, which will be a great place to rent for
both community and private events. The addition of the Mountain Bike Trail on the Black Creek Trail has been
a welcomed asset by both our citizens and tourists to our City.
As the City looks to the future, decisions were made that hopefully will attract commercial development. Those
decisions included the purchase of the old K-Mart property of approximately 9.4 acres which adjoins four plus
acres already owned by the City. Then there was the purchase of the former Rainbow Cinemas, which is prime
riverfront property. The biggest commercial news of the year was the opening of the River Trace development
on the former Goodyear golf course, where we have already seen the opening of Gander Mountain, Shoe
Carnival, Ulta as well as a new Hobby Lobby that relocated.
The FY2015 General Fund budget has projected revenues of $47,450,600, which is an increase of $709,500
from FY2014. The budget includes a two-step (2.5%) increase in wages for all full-time employees. The good
news is that we saw no increase in health care premiums. There were also fifteen non-full time positions added
to Public Works to help with grass cutting and recycling. An additional $867,000 was taken from the General
Fund unassigned fund balance to fund the matches on MPO and State projects. This includes the South 11 th
Street Bridge, paving of Padenreich Ave, Forrest Ave & 9th Street, as well as the paving of 3rd Street and
Goodyear Ave. The budget secured all services provided to the citizens of Gadsden. The budget was presented
on September 16th and passed on September 23rd by a 6-0 vote.
As we look to FY2015, we look with excitement to the many things that we expect to see happen. With the
former Mayor being re-elected in August, many projects that have been started will hopefully be completed.
The most notable being the Riverfront Development on the East side of the river, which will include a park with
walking trails. This development hopefully will attract new commercial development, including the prospects
of new restaurants. The City has also secured a grant that will allow for the expansion of the Recycling Center
that is being greatly utilized by our citizens. Two other projects that have been anticipated for some time is the
replacement of the Tuscaloosa Avenue and Hickory Street bridges. Lastly, we look forward to the completion
of the River Trace development, with the anticipated opening of Ross for Less and Panda Express.
In FY2015, with new council seats being filled because of the elections, we look with anticipation to the
uncertainties and the challenges that the future holds. Regardless, may we always be united in our efforts. May
we continue to be aggressive in industrial and commercial development, realizing that we must enhance our
revenues. Most of all, may we make sound financial decisions that will secure a future for our City and its’
citizens so that Gadsden will always be a great place to live and work.
