County budget edges toward balance with shifts and requests
Aiken County Council outlines a lean budget with a $500000 reserve, shifting two mills from debt service to the general fund to cover an $800000 state-ordered property reappraisal cost. The plan maintains a tax neutral stance, keeps pay freezes, imposes spending limits, and funds an animal shelter while seeking state fee increases for 911 dialing. Council praises Administrator William Shepherd for reduced reliance on tax anticipation notes, noting TANs could fall to about $2.5 million. Debate continues over funding for county bus service with some members supporting continued aid for the poor and students, while others push contingencies and possible city action. A vote partially funds a law library expansion, contingent on rest via outside support.
