Nashville’s Town Council held its final workshop on the proposed 2009-2010 budget last week, a budget that includes an increase in water and sewer rates but a significant decrease in property tax rates.
The $9 million budget is $2 million more than what was adopted in the 2008-2009 budget. However, two temporary funds are included and make up $1.76 million of the proposed budget. Those funds include the Downtown Revitalization Fund and the Capital Project Fund for the new Town Hall. Without the temporary funds, the 2009-2010 budget reflects an increase of around $280,000.
