Gas prices have the city of Sioux Falls dipping into reserves.

The Sioux Falls Finance Department this week asked city councilors to sign off on a series of changes to the 2022 spending projections they adopted last fall, including about a quarter-million dollars to cover higher than anticipated fuel costs that have been pinching department budgets.

Specifically, Sioux Falls Fire Rescue is seeking an additional $100,000 in its 2022 budget to cover fuel costs and the Parks and Recreation Department an additional $140,000 due to the price of gasoline and diesel fuel.
