COUNTY BUDGET HEARING TUESDAY
Monday, November 9th, 2009 -- 11:20 AM
We're told there could be some amendments proposed to the Clark County budget when supervisors approve it Tuesday night.Under the proposal, the levy will increase to $12.2-million.
The tax rate is also proposed to jump a dime from $6.67 to $6.77.
The budget includes $700,000 for a new evidence storage facility for the Sheriff?s Department. Board members voted down a resolution this summer that would have amended the current year's budget to build the facility.
Another $100,000 will be used for park improvements in the Withee area.
Both expenditures will be paid for with money from the $1-million fund created when American Transmission built the Duluth to Weston power line.
The budget hearing is set for November 10th at 7 p.m. at the courthouse.
