The village board in Wellsville conduct a public hearing tonight on the proposed 2019-2020 budget. No residents spoke. That could be because, according to May Randy Shayler, the proposed tax levy is the lowest it has been in eleven years. The proposes spending plan carries a new tax rate that is $.05 lower than last year. The new rate, if the budget is approved and unchanged, would be $17.35 per $1,000. The budget calls for spending $3,657,858 in the new fiscal year. According to Shayler, "from public safety to street maintenance, village surveys indicate every service is valued by residents so the board works to create a budget that provides those valued services efficiently."
The board is expected to vote on the budget April 22.
