Electric hike proposed - 12:20 p.m.

City Manager Rick Howell proposed a 2 percent hike in the city's electric rate.

"We're looking at a little bit of growth by overall city wide it doesn't amount to much," said Brad Cornwell, the city's public utilities director.

He said a 48-unit apartment complex on Fallston Road and a new hotel have chosen city electric over Duke Energy.

Budget includes a mini excavator ($45,000 to be financed), service truck ($40,000 to be financed) and $320,000 in system upgrades.
