Budget Highlights

• Trading 2017 160M grader on a 2023 AWD 160M grader 

• Significant gravel costs due to crushing being planned at two different pits after the 2022 crush was delayed due to weather

• Use of reserve funds from the Capital Trust Fund to help balance the budget

• First significant increase in taxes since 2015 - increase in mill rate of .5 to 10.25 and increase to Ag mill rate factor to .30 (up from .28) - no changes to commercial and residential MRFs as those categories have historically seen more tax increases
