concerning
the
preliminary
budget.
( copy in

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.
