since the state pays 80 percent of the salary.
The budget passed on Monday totals $6,310,825, up about 23 percent from this year’s expenditures.
Mr. Cox reported that the anticipated ending balance in the General Fund next June 30 will be $321,758, "about $40,000 more than the five percent that’s generally been carried.”
He pointed out that "no adjustments have been made for the landfill. I don’t know what you want to do about that.”
On Monday, the board members did nothing, leaving the appropriation at $450,000 for acquisition of a new landfill site and $200,000 for maintenance, which includes site development.
The expenditure side out of the way, the board turned to the revenue side, setting the real estate tax rate for 1987-88 at 69 cents per $100 of assessed value, up 19 percent from the current 58 cent rate. They pushed the personal property tax rate on licensed motor vehicles up 38 percent, going from $2.10 to $2.90. The budget’s balance also depends on $464,228 drawn from accumulated surplus; without that draw, the tax rate necessary to fund the same level of expenditures would have been some 20 cents higher.
