12/06/17 WAMPSVILLE, N.Y. >>  "During its third day of annual session, the Board of Supervisors passed its 2018 budget with a property tax increase just shy of the state-imposed tax cap.  The board passed a $114.8 million budget for next year which will increase the county tax levy 2.993 percent over last year’s collected property taxes.

......[Ironically  and unclear !] At the same meeting, the board  introduced a local law to rescind the previous local law giving the board the option to override the cap. A public hearing will be held on the new local law at the next meeting on Dec. 19.

The remainder of Tuesday’s agenda largely consisted of renewing existing agreements for next year and levying unpaid taxes on various taxing districts.

The board also set its meeting days and times for next year again as the second Tuesday of each month at 2 p.m. The first meeting will be Wednesday, Jan. 3 and is scheduled as an organizational meeting.
