By Melinda L. Lucas
Following a series of budget workshops over the past month, Shackelford County commissioners met in a special session on Friday morning, Aug. 30 to propose both a budget for the fiscal year that starts Oct. 1 and a tax rate to support it.
A $4,329,454 balanced budget was proposed by Steve Riley, with a second by Cody Jordan. The expenditure figure is $144,631 more than the current year’s original budget of $4,184,823.
Jordan made the motion to submit a 58.91-cent rate, seconded by Riley.
Both votes were unanimous.
