That’s a good result. I would like to express my appreciation once again for your support of this budget. I have two partial vetoes to improve it. The tax levy will be unaffected and the savings on Human Services expenses will go to decrease the current deficit in the Human Services fund. 1. I am deleting 3 positions in the Human Services Department and substituting 181 full time positions for 184 full time positions listed in the budget On line 25 of the budget book substitute 181 for 184 full time positions in the Human Services Department. 2. I am reducing the borrowing amount for the Highway Department from $3,200,000 to $2,500,000. The approved projects can be financed by a combination of savings and the Highway Fund reserve. This will result in a decrease of our total debt at the end of 2025 by $45,000, rather than increasing our total debt by $655,000. On line 13 of the budget book reduce the line “sales of notes or bonds” from $3,200,000 to $2,500,000. Contact me anytime. Thank you.
