WOODSTOCK — The third reading of Woodstock’s fiscal year 2013 budget will be heard by the Woodstock City Council during its meeting on Monday.

The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. at the Chambers at City Center.

The budget is set at $30.7 million, up from the current budget of $27.5 million.

The third reading is needed to reflect changes the council wanted to include, such as using $101,571 to pay off police department software, $60,000 to install the hardware to prepare for fiber connectivity throughout the city and $40,049 in streets repairs.

Those changes increased the city’s general fund budget to $15.3 million, up slightly from the current $15.2 million.

Council members will also consider a request from Residential Group, LLC, to rezone 17.5 acres of property along Highway 92 east of Main Street and Laurelwood Drive from downtown commercial and low density residential to downtown multi-family residential.

The company would like to build a roughly 286-unit apartment complex on the property.

The item was tabled during its June 11 meeting.

Other items on the agenda include:

* Recognizing Neese Towing for its donation of vehicles to the Woodstock Fire Department for its extrication class;

* Consider approval of a request from Steve Bankes to remove a condition of zoning for his property at 123 Brendylnn Trace, which would allow the buffer to be disturbed only move the fence back and tie in to the existing fence; the Woodstock Planning Commission recommended approval of the request during its June 5 meeting;
