County commission approves 2015 budget with 10 percent cuts to outside agencies
The commission settled on a 10 percent reduction for outside agencies including ACDC Compass and the Council on Aging, trimming FCEDC’s carryover to about 19 000 while preserving salary studies and preventing a mill levy hike. Mayo supported the plan though he warned of tough choices and possible levy considerations. Not all county employees receive raises next year as KPERs contributions rise to 6 percent for all workers.
