The Franklin County Commission will hold its final public budget hearing next Monday in Apalachicola.
The 50.4 million dollar budget received tentative approval earlier this month.
The total budget is about 6 million dollars more than the current budget.
The amount that will be paid by local taxpayers is a little over 11.1 million dollars which is about 450 thousand dollar more than last year.
Much of the local tax increase is coming from increases in the sheriff’s office budget as well as an increased subsidy to the local ambulance service.
Commissioners this year also approved an across the board 1000 dollar pay increase for county workers which totaled over 205 thousand dollars.
There is one more public hearing before the budget takes effect on October 1st.
The final public budget hearing will be held next Monday, September the 19th at 5:15.
