Committee Stat
On First Varnai
Funds for a town hall and the town
clerk's office were among the needs
identified this week by members of a
committee working toward adoption
of the first budget for the Town of
Varnamtown.
The committee, appointed during
the Nov. 14 town meeting, includes
board members Ennis Swain and
Marion Davis, Town Clerk Paul
Vealey, and residents Judy Galloway
and Luellen Norris. Mayor Pro Tern
Swain is chairman of the group.
During a one-hour meeting Monday
night at Gospel Center Baptist
Church, committee members agreed
on several immediate needs for the
town and estimated the cost of
meeting those needs. Those will be
included in a town budget that will
run through the remainder of this
fiscal year ending June 30, 1989.
Although actual dollar amounts
could change, the committee tentatively
agreed that the budget
should include $000 for office space,
$200 for electricity bills, $150 for supplies
such as postage and letterhead,
$100 for a bond for the town clerk, $25
for a town mailbox and a $400 contingency
fund which would be used to
cover anything not anticipated in the
budget. As it stands now, expenditures
total $1,475.
Given the town's approximate proNew

mtown Budget
perty valuation of $9 million, committee
members agreed that the
town could probably get by with a
first-year tax rate of two or three
cents per $100 of valuation.
If all taxes are paid, a tax rate of
two cents would bring in about $1,800
while a rate of three cents would
raise approximately $2,700. The town
charter prohibits the town board
from setting the tax rate above 10
cents.
There will likely be additional costs
in the budget, however, as committee
members discussed a potential need
for legal advice in conducting town
affairs and the cost of an annual
audit which is required by law.
Mayor Tracie Varnum. who sat in
on this week's meeting, encouraged
committee members to work
together on this initial budget as the
town tries to get on its feet. "We're
not the only town starting without
any money," he said.
Committee members agreed they
will need to meet again before
presenting a proposed budget to the
full board of aldermen. Once a
budget has been proposed, a public
hearing will be required before it can
be adopted.
The next meeting of the town board
will be Monday, Dec. 12, at 7:30 p.m.
in Gospel Center Baptist Church.
