County pares budget and mills levy for 1999 plan
Douglas County commissioners trimmed about 196000 from the capital improvement plan and cut a portion of a 100000 reserve for unexpected capital needs. They redirected road funds and shaved maintenance shop costs to save roughly 196000, aiming to fund Kasold Street improvements and reduce the levy by about one third of a mill. The move accompanies a proposed 2.5 mill increase to support the CIP, with formal budget decisions expected next week.
