WINTER PARK, Fla. — Winter Park residents could soon have to pay more for utilities, trash pick-up, parks and more if the proposed city budget is approved.
If approved, the proposed $207 million budget would mean increased costs for some public services in the city.

The current budget proposal calls for a 5-percent increase for all fees for parks and recreation, an 8-percent increase in stormwater fees, and a 20-percent increase in trash fees, which equates to an extra $5 a month for homeowners.
“I think it’s kind of wrong, it’s like we’re paying out a lot already, plus the people not making enough like they should be making in Florida,” Winter Park homeowner Jerry Smith said.
