TOTAL SUMMARY OF ALL FUNDS
overall budget decreased by 6,212 .
Mr. Austic stated that the Real Property tax needed for the 1997 budget for the A fund
is $214,642 and for DA fund $119,759 for a total of $334,441. This calculates to $1.5276
per thousand assessed value. The Fire tax calculates to $. 5401 per thousand assessed
value. The 1996 rates were Fire of $.541 and Town tax of 51. 602. The Real Property
tax for the building project calculates out to be S.3882 per thousand assessed value, •
which represents the total cost of S183,000 less the reserve of 578,000 and the S20,000
from the capital reserve of 1997. Total to be raised by budget and building $1.9158.
The savings in the 1997 tax rate for budget actually is a -4 .64 % or a reduction of S.0744
per thousand. This should show a savings on county tax from 15/20 cents/M. In the
town this increase amounts to $.3182 or about 19. 5 % all of which is the one year cost of
building construction. Mr. Austic would not recommend the use of any more fund
balances from any funds since the balances are at the level suggested by the state. These
balances can protect us from unexpected increases, which for one reason or another
costs more than expected at budget time.
Discussion followed . The Board felt that no other changes were warranted at this time.
Hearing no further discussion the tentative budget was moved to preliminary budget and
a Public Hearing date was set for November 12th, 1996 at 7 : 00 pm prior to the Regular
Town Board Meeting at the Town Hall.
INVITATION TO RID
Mr. Austic reported that the information is back from the architect regarding re-bidding
the exterior of the building. It has been reviewed and everything is in order. The Town
Board set a date for the Bid Opening to be November 26th at 7: 00 pm prior to the 2nd
Board Meeting. A Legal Notice will be published and posted.
