Based on updated information about projected tax revenue for fiscal year 2017-2018 (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018), and using guidance from the first Budget Committee meeting, a revised budget proposal has been prepared.
Budget revisions
Few revisions were made to the first proposed budget. Changes made to the revised proposed budget include:
- Equipment rental income increases to $2,000.
- A more current tax revenue projection increases projected revenue from taxes by $1,306.
- The additional revenue from equipment rental and taxes is transferred to the Working Lands Legacy Fund.
