The Decorah City Council has unanimously approved adjustments in the city's 2019-2020 budget.

The adjusted budget will have $3,197,000 in higher spending, including $790,000 in spending on the new Gundersen Health System hangar at the Decorah Airport; $640,000 in spending on the Dry Run Box Culvert; and $250,000 in spending by the Library.
