County plans for no growth budgeting
Frederick County moves to a no growth budget for fiscal 1997 as revenue grows by about 9 million but spending stays flat. Budget Officer Sneadner projects 3.3 million from state income tax share plus 3.3 million from real estate taxes and 1.6 million from a 1995 surplus with other sources filling the rest. The proposed $183.6 million budget would rise 5.13 percent from 1996, with agencies instructed to use 1996 allocations unless a mandatory increase applies.
