No Tax Increase
Planned For Polk
After the first of two planned
marathon budget work sessions
Wednesday, members of the
Polk County Board of Com
missioners said they don't fore
see a need to raise taxes this
year.
"It is going real well, consid
ering the finances of (North
Carolina)," said commissioner
Carson Deck. "We should be in
decent shape really."
In his budget proposal.
County Manager John Lewis
projected revenues of $7.2
million. However, Lewis' pro
posal also projected expenses
exceeding revenues by
$230,000.
As this was his first time
handling a public budget, Lewis
said he wanted the board's
guidance in balancing the num
bers.
The commissioners gave it to
him, finding $76,000 of addi
tional revenue Wednesday night
and cutting $28,000 from small
line items.
The board will be looking for
another $126,000 to cut when it
meets for a second budget work
session Saturday at 10 a.m.
At that time, the board will be
considering budgets for the
sheriff, including the new
E-911 service, Emergency
Medical Services (EMS), social
services, health services, and
the board will continue to con
sider the school budget as well.
But don't expect any great
wrangles to emerge. According
