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.

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.
