| SUPERVISORS NOTES, BUDGET 2009 | |||||||||||||||
| PAGE 3 | Independent Audit and Accounting is slightly more this year, but this will not increase in the next few years. | ||||||||||||||
| The Assessor's updated salary has been agreed upon by the Town of Hamden Board and the Walton Town Board personnel committee. | |||||||||||||||
| PAGE 4 | Elections are no different than last year. We'll pay for them and probably be reimbursed by Delaware County. | ||||||||||||||
| PAGE 5 | The Highway Superintendent has requested $100,000.00 for a new building on State Route 10. There is no funding in the Tentative Budget for this item | ||||||||||||||
| if the board is desirous of adding this back in, it can be done during the budget workshops. | |||||||||||||||
| PAGE 7 | Most revenues will stay the same for all funds. | ||||||||||||||
| PAGE 8 | There are few changes in the B Fund. The Village of Walton has requested a $2,000 increase for the pool and recreation programs. | ||||||||||||||
| The mayor announced a few months ago that the village saved about $3,000 by closing the pool early and cutting back. Should the town realize a savings too? | |||||||||||||||
| PAGE 10 | There have been some changes made to the Highway Superintendents budget requests. A cut has been made to bridge funding. | ||||||||||||||
| We still don't know where we are with this project and since the bridge needs repair from the 2006 flooding, the funds should come from DB8760.4 not the DA Fund. | |||||||||||||||
| Additionally, Health Insurance went up dramatically this year. | |||||||||||||||
| PAGE 12 | Cuts were made to Repairs Contractual, which may put as a bit behind on road maitenance. Hopefully our lock-in rate for fuel will be better than | ||||||||||||||
| anticipated and most projects can still be accomplished. This also helps to make the levy more palatable. | |||||||||||||||
| Again, Appropriations and Revenues are on the same page. | |||||||||||||||
| Misc. | Raises were discussed with the Town Board personnel committee. 3% was decided upon. | ||||||||||||||
| The overall increase on this tentative budget is 5.8863% | |||||||||||||||
| That makes an overall increase on the rate per 1,000 of assessment of $0.942040 | |||||||||||||||
| Spending is increased by $76,017.00 over all funds | |||||||||||||||
| Revenues are down by $210,091.00, which is due to CHIPS funding. Excluding CHIPS, revenue is down by $1,600.00 | |||||||||||||||
