Heated debate at Rapid City Council meeting

Posted:

Monday's Special Council Meeting in Rapid City is the first of three scheduled to take place this week to discuss the 2013 budget.  No formal action will take place this week because city council members have until October 1st to pass the mayor's proposed $136.7 million budget.

At times throughout Monday's meeting, tensions flared and the discussion became heated; nonetheless, the council voted to expand the Rapid City Police Department by adding four officers in 2013.  But the council couldn't agree on how to fund that $215,000 cost.

The two remaining meetings scheduled to take place Tuesday, August 14 and Wednesday, August 15 have been canceled.
