Hatfield, Clp C. Hatfield, and Atty Perkins Absent: Clp Roberts Supv Schug read the legal notices that were in the newspaper concerning the preliminary budget. ( copy in minute book) QUESTIONS AND /OR COMMENTS Supv Schug - the preliminary budget is just under one half of one percent in increase in town taxes. There was an across the board 3 percent plus in salaries. There is an increase in the attorney area. This is a one time charge of $7,600.00 to codify and revise the zoning ordinance. Co. Rep. Lane - wanted to know the status of the ambulance district and the charge back. Supv Schug - the ambulance rate has been cut. The rate last year was .495 and this year is .0344 which is a 31.2 percent reduction. The money is coming in on a routine basis and very happy the way it is working. There are reserves for contingencies in this budget. Les Cleland - questioned amount of money given to Southworth Library, Supv Schug - anyone the town supports through services and if they are looking for an increase we ask that they get it to the town in early September so that it can be considered. I received the letter last week from Southworth Library which is late. If the board desires they can authorize an increase which would bring the amount to $3,900.00 as to what is proposed of $3,7B5.00. No one is given a 3 percent increase unless it is asked for. I have received information from the library as to what their budget is. Les Cleland - the Southworth Library would ask for your consideration realizing the request is late and recognizing this is a preliminary hearing there is still time to make changes prior to adopting the budget. Supv Schug - the board members have plans for recommendations to increase the library request. The town does not mind supporting a good program, but we shouldn't be the sole support. Les Cleland - what do you anticipate to be the surplus at the end of this year. • Supv Schug - we have a reserve fund and do not anticipate any fund balance for the end of this year.
