NORTHFIELD —A $66 million cut in state aid to cities is expected to take a chunk out of Northfield’s budget.
Figures released today by Gov. Tim Pawlenty show Northfield’s anticipated Dec. 26 aid payment will be $356,000 short of what city leaders expected. That money has already been spent by the city. The reimbursement is needed to balance the city’s budget, which runs through year’s end and to deal with the state’s budget shortfall.
The governor’s decision reduces the amount Northfield will receive next week by a little more than 4 percent — from $1.56 million to $1.21 million.
It’s unclear how the city will deal with the unallotment. The city is required by law to balance its annual budget.
