Town Budget
Information
Adopted 11/12/08
Budget Summary
Detailed Budget
Following are notable changes in the 2009 proposed budget from
2008:
Revenues
Capital Improvement Reserves
will be increased $40,000 in 2009 using MFL withdrawal taxes
collected in 2008. These funds are currently earning 5% interest
for the town in a Certificate of Deposit until such time as a
project/use is specified. The town does not expect any more large
MFL withdrawals to provide extra funds in the future.
The State has confirmed the amounts of Intergovernmental Revenues
for 2009 as stated in the proposed budget detail.
Expenditures
General Government’s budget
will decrease $10,404 (14%) from the 2008 budget taking into
account the completion of the assessor’s revaluation, and decreases
in both the election and plan commission budgets for 2009.
Increased line items include elected officials’ compensation for the
2009-2011 term and town hall building/equipment maintenance and
parking lot resurfacing.
Public Safety will decrease $2000 (5.7%) due to the completion
of the three year fire sign replacement campaign. At this time, we
are not anticipating any increases in Fire Protection & Ambulance
fees.
Health and Sanitation’s
budget has been increased $5000 (13.5%) in anticipation of a
new three-year contract for waste & recycling hauling.
Public Works:
The Snow Removal budget will increase $20,000 (50%). The town
faced a snow plowing budget shortage of over $13,000 for
snowplowing in 2008. Highway Maintenance & Materials will
increase $20,000 (33.33%) due to expected higher resurfacing
costs, needed shoulder repair & ditching projects planned for 2009,
and a pay increase for town road maintenance workers.
Capital Outlay: There are currently no funds budgeted for Capital
Outlay during 2009.
SUMMARY
Revenues in 2009 $304,141 Expenses in 2009
$304,141
The Board agreed to present a proposed levy of $125,000 at the
November 12, 2008 budget meeting of the electors.
