County Administrator William Shepherd announced a $1 million surplus projected by June 30 and a reserve fund addition. The new budget avoids tax increases and keeps the 68 millage rate, with home owners of $100 000 paying about 352 in county taxes next year. The general fund projects 24.1 million in revenue, aided by nearly 15 million from property taxes and 11 million from Public Service Authority solid waste and road fees.
