The Kissimmee City Commission held its second budget hearing Tuesday, Sept. 22, on a proposed $322 million budget (about $160M general fund) for the fiscal year starting Oct. 1. The plan includes a hiring freeze, delays most vehicle/equipment replacement except police vehicles, and defers capital projects like the Cypress Elementary community center, citing potential revenue loss if Amendment 3 passes.
