Dinuba council reviews its mid-year 2020-21 budget
MVT Staff Report
The Dinuba City Coun- cil unanimously approved the city's mid-year budget report for fiscal year 2020- 2021 among action taken at its regular online meeting on Feb. 23.
The 5-0 vote meant that the council accepted the re- port and second quarter fi- nancials as provided by Mar- garita Moreno, Administra- tive Services Director.
The report basically stat-
ed that revenues in the city's general fund are at 56 per- cent and expenditure are at 51 percent. The report noted that certain revenues are collected at various times throughout the year, and aren't always reflected in the mid-year report.
As an example, the report noted that the first install- ment of property tax rev- enues is collected in Decem- ber and January.
Council Member Kuldip Thusu asked for an explana-
tion of the increase of about a quarter million dollars for the South College Avenue im- provement project. He was satisfied that the improve- ments were being carried over the course of two fiscal years, and justified in the budget.
"It's awesome and mind- blowing. We have to be thank- ful that despite these crazy times, we are in this situation. Thank you, staff," Thusu said.
The council also heard a COVID-19 update from staff
about the virus on a federal, state and local level. There was good news at the de- creasing rates of infection in cases and hospitalizations. It was reported that continued wearing of masks and social distancing have been pay- ing off. The report said that April or shortly after, the na- tion should be near or at the 70 percent level of herd im- munity.
It's anticipated that the city will reopen the CIty Hall building to the public on
Monday, March 8, according to Luis Patlan, City Manager. Patlan said fire department personnel already have re- ceived both shots, while po- lice have received their first shots. The second shots are expected on Friday, March 5.
Patlan said the city erred on the side of caution in keep- ing City Hall closed for much of the COVID pandemic.
The next city council meeting is scheduled to be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 9.

Investigators on March 1 checked out the overturned tractor that killed Sanger farm- er Robert Huey. The 82-year-old Huey was disking his almond orchard near Tulare and Newmark avenues when his tractor tipped off an embankment and overturned, pinning him underneath.
ACCIDENT Continued from page A5
she dialed 911. First responders ar- rived to administer aid, but Huey was pronounced dead at the scene.
Tony Botti with FCSO told ABC30 in an interview at the accident site that Huey may have turned the trac- tor a little wide and it lost control, rolling into the ditch.
Huey was a military veteran and actively involved with the Sanger Amvets organization, ABC30 re- ported. Ryan Jacobsen, CEO for the Fresno County Farm Bureau, told the station that Huey was a member of the bureau.
Tragically, Huey lost his life in the accident as it coincides with the an- nual Agricultural Safety Awareness Week.
