Councilperson David Maul gave a detailed presentation on the proposed 2006 budget.  The 2006 tax rate for residents outside the Village, not including special districts, will be $4.28/$1,000 assessment, which has not changed from last year.  Residents inside the Village will pay $3.62/$1,000 assessment.  This is up $.58 due to the Police Department becoming a Town charge.  The Village residents should have seen a decrease in their Village taxes reflecting this change.  The actual public hearing will be held on November 10, 2005.

Frank Maciuska, Walworth Councilperson and Paul Russell, Engineer for the Town of Walworth requested the Town Board pass two (2) resolutions supporting the trunk sewer expansion for the Walworth/Gananda Sewer District.  Phase I would bring the sewer from the south side of the wetlands to the north and Phase II would bring the sewer to the industrial zone.  These resolutions would be contingent upon IDA funds.  The consensus of the Board was that the Town of Walworth needed a guarantee versus speculation on industry before the IDA would commit.  They will get more information and possibly return on November 10, 2005.
