Dawson leaders confirm the city is facing financial challenges, stating the city is 'battling to stay above water.' The city was reportedly facing a structural budget deficit of at least $300,000 and had sought authority to borrow up to $420,000 to maintain operations. The city ultimately borrowed about $400,000 against certificates of deposit to bridge the gap.
