Volney adopts 2016 budget with small tax increase
Volney Town Board approved the 2016 budget after a quiet hearing. The plan keeps spending similar to 2015 with about a two cent per thousand hike in the overall tax rate to roughly 4.63, aided by cuts and prudent spending in 2015. The highway fund remains the largest portion of the levy, at 2.84 per thousand, with the general fund rising to 0.75 and the fire district levy to 1.04. The town projects expenses near 1.94 million and expects around 844 thousand in revenue, plus about 130 thousand from unexpended 2015 funds. The fire district seeks 336,803 in property taxes for a district valued near 324 million, and the town has overridden the state tax cap since 2012 due to new water districts. The next meeting is December 17 at 5 p.m.
