District eyes 15.7 percent spending bump in budget plan
Kyle Hayden, district chief operations officer, says the aim is to retain top staff and value them through the annual compensation process. The proposed $138.5 million budget would rise 18.8 million from 2010-11, though officials expect not all funds to materialize. Property owners would pay 54.445 mills, down 0.201, with a $150,000 home paying $979.43 next year. The plan also sets aside $13.75 million in capital outlay for equipment, construction, and maintenance projects.
