TWO MINOR CORRECTIONS
YOUR BUDGET QUESTIONS ANSWERED
In case you missed the mid-week update... thank you to everyone who submitted a question or comment.

We inadvertently published one wrong budget amount and failed to clarify one item. Both items can be found below or on the corrected document.

For Printed Directory - $5,745 was the approved budget number

For the addition of a Communications Coordinator - The Board approved unanimously a regular assessment rate of $0.31 cents per $100 of taxable value in the May Board meeting to provide the income needed for the addition of a 4th staff member. In the June Board meeting an amendment to the motion to approve the budget was made to reduce the Onsite Services line item to remove the 4th staff position – and the amended motion passed.

By clicking the button below you can see the questions submitted and the answers provided by the Village Manager.
