The
Franklin County Commission will hold its first public budget hearing
today.
The
proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year is 62.3 million dollars.
As
it stands, local taxpayers would pay about 12.6 million of that, up
from around 12 million this year.
That
would be about a 3.7 percent tax increase, though that will fall
because of a smaller increase in the county's insurance costs and
better than expected tax collections.
County
finance director Erin Griffin said the tax increase this year will
likely be under one and a half percent.
The
first public budget hearing is this afternoon at 5:15.
You
can watch the meeting at the Forgotten Coast TV Youtube channel.
If
you would like to comment on the budget you can call in to the
meeting using Zoom.
All
of the access information is available on the meeting agenda which
you can find at franklincountyflorida.com.
