Board Approves Budget Adoption
Meeting Date
The Board of Trustees approved
August 26, 2008, as the meeting date
for the purpose of adopting the
budget and the proposed tax rate.
The Board of Trustees also approved
that the "proposed tax rate" of
$1.21 be used in the publication
"Notice of Public Meeting to Discuss
Budget and Proposed Tax Rate." This
proposed tax rate will equate to a
half-cent decrease from the current
tax rate of $1.215. This decrease
will result in a $375,000 reduction
of the Maintenance and Operations
(M&O) budget. |
