Town Treasurer, Jack Jacobs, stated the following facts:
* Town's assessed valuation = $215,000,000 approx.
* 95% collection rate = $204,583,000 approx.
* Effective rate = .2981
* Rollback rate = .3219
Using the effective rate times the 95% collection rate,
income from property tax would be approximately $609,863.
$5,000 for past due taxes is added to this amount for a total
property tax budget of $614,863.

Ambulance; motion dies for lack of a second.
Final proposed budget totals are: Income, $979,688; Expense,
$1,103,465, resulting in a $123,777 shortfall. Mr. Jacobs
calculated the tax rate would then be approximately .3581, or
an additional 6 cents per $100 valuation over the effective
rate.
