SWID Budget Holds Line With 1986 Plan Despite Tax Rate Drop
The Shafter-Wasco Irrigation District board approved a near identical 1986 budget to this year with minimal capital outlay. The tax rate drops to 3000 per land value, easing overall income versus 1985, while last year saw vehicle purchases. The district foresees no further reductions, expects a 2 percent rise next year, and notes a 1995 contract expiry with the Bureau of Reclamation could cut district payments by about a quarter of a million dollars annually, raising water costs.
