No Tax Hike In City Budget For Aiken 1997 Plan
Aiken City Manager Steve Thompson unveiled a Fiscal 1997 budget to the city council, a 6.1 percent spend increase with no tax hike or fee increases for services. The plan uses a 79 mill tax base after an 11 mill reassessment cut revenues by about $60,000, offset by franchise fees. The $25 million operating budget plus $7 million for capital projects funds police fire and admin, utilities, and seeks $350,000 for an economic development fund plus $40,000 for downtown development to offset Savannah River Site cutbacks.
