The Hamlet Town Board members went over the proposed budget for 2012 at their recent meeting. The proposed budget total for all funds is $408,178. The members cut five percent from last year’s budget. For the fourth year in a row, no pay increases were given.
“Even though money is tight, I still think we can grant a 2% salary increase.”
That was told to the Knox City Council this week by Knox City Clerk-Treasurer, Jeff Houston. The two percent increase recommended for all employees and officials was passed unanimously by the Council on the first reading of the salary ordinance.
The State Board of Accounts has completed its audit of the 2012 budget.
