It calls for spending $2.04 million next year, a reduction of $74,600 compared to the budget that was submitted for 2011.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are pleased to present our 2012 budget to the County Council, which meets its requested cut,&#8221; said Commissioner Nelson Peters, president of the Board. &#8220;Despite the reduction, our budget will allow us to continue to serve our citizens in the most cost-effective manner possible.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Over the last six budget years, the Board of Commissioners has offered up spending reductions totaling nearly $795,000.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Next year&#8217;s proposed budget is 38.5 percent less than what was budgeted by Commissioners in 2005,&#8221; Peters noted. &#8220;Our push to be more efficient, reductions in staffing and the goodwill of our vendors have enabled us to make these cuts over the years.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='7bf3c5ceac0200265f744e8d5806def5' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
