Village of Greene adopts 2009-10 budget
GREENE – The Village of Greene adopted a tentative budget for the 2009-10 fiscal year Wednesday night following a brief public hearing. The plan calls for a $2,297 increase in spending from the prior year’s budget, a .23 percent increase.
For village property owners this translates into a real property tax rate of $11.75 per $1,000 of assessed value based on last year’s assessments, an increase of $ .28. According to Village Clerk/Treasurer Suzanne Jones, this is the first tax rate increase in eight years.
“We’re pleased to have kept the tax increase at a modest rate,” said Mayor Marcia Miller, explaining that taxes on a home valued at $60,000 would increase by $16.80.
The village’s budget for next year totals $997,511, of which $434,833 will be raised by real property taxes. An additional $33,380 will be offset by a cash surplus from the current year’s budget. The remaining $529,298 will be raised by other revenue including state aid, sales tax, court fines/fees and fire protection district funds.
The mayor, who was sworn in for her second term prior to the hearing, read a prepared statement thanking the village’s superintendents of public works and electric for doing all they could to keep the budget “flat.” According to Miller, “very modest raises” were given to village staff members. “I hope they can be more generous next year,” she said. Neither the mayor nor the village trustees received a raise.
