Channahon trustees approve budget that shows surplus

No village positions cut in highly critiqued budget

CHANNAHON — There were a few measures on Monday’s agenda that Channahon village trustees unanimously approved, but this coming fiscal year’s budget and the village’s contribution to the Canal Corridor Association were not among them.

The board did approve the 2012-2013 budget, which contains $5.27 million in revenues, $5.22 million in expenses, and new reserves of $1.16 million. It’s the first budget in three years with a surplus, said village Finance Director Bob Guess.

Expenses next year include some road work and annual road maintenance. Revenue from tap-on fees are only expected from five new homes.

What is your stance on a proposed 1 percent sales tax to fund local school building projects?

I'm in favor of anything that will help improve school finances
I will support it if it helps to lower my property taxes
I oppose it because I don't believe it will impact property taxes and I will just pay twice
I'm against any additional taxes
I have not heard enough yet to form an opinion
