County sets hearing for 2008 budget
NORWICH – County lawmakers spent no time discussing next year’s tentative budget at a meeting of the full Board of Supervisors Nov. 13, and simply set the date for a public hearing.
The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 27 in the Supervisor’s Chambers on the third floor of the County Office Building, 5 Court St., Norwich. Supervisors are scheduled to adopt the 2008 budget the following day.
The average tentative county tax rate would drop 25 cents, or $15.83 from the current $16.08 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The tax effect will fluctuate, either increasing or decreasing, in all 22 municipalities because of state-established equalization rates. (See sidebar.)
Officials will apply $22.7 million in property taxes and nearly $2 million from surplus and in order to match estimated revenues to planned appropriations of $79 million. Spending increased by $2.8 million, or 3.67 percent.
Another public hearing, set for 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 28, was called to fix the annual salaries of certain county officers. The salaries to be adopted are: Commissioner of Social Services, $63,085; Director of Public Works, $78,645; Personnel Officer, $52,093; Commissioner of Elections (2) each, $22,622; County Clerk, $52,923; and County Treasurer, $61,026.
