Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst unveiled her proposed $82.7 million budget for 2013 on Tuesday night, touting the accompanying flat tax burden and an improving fiscal condition of the town.
The spending plan, if adopted as proposed by the supervisor, calls for an approximately $2.4 million increase in spending, driven primarily by contractual salary increases for town employees and by rising health care and pension benefit costs. But forecasts of rising revenues means that the budget proposes a tax levy for town residents equal to the 2012 levy, though individual property owners’ tax bills could be affected by changing assessments.
The budget will be the subject of a series of public hearings and, most likely, amendment proposals by members of the Town Board. A final budget must be in place by November 20.
