Athens-Clarke County Mayor Heidi Davison has submitted the FY2010 budget for review by the Athens-Clarke County Commission, and it includes a marginal increase of 0.25in the millage rate up to 13.20. It's not terribly shocking, given the dire economic reports confronting the commission, and I would envision more cuts being pursued to either offset or altogether eliminate any rate increase.
This year's budget will tough for commissioners, but it's hard to not imagine the FY2011 being even more cumbersome to wrestle with.
There are three public hearings scheduled in May regarding the proposed budget. Two are at the Planning Auditorium on May 6 (5:30 p.m.) and May 14 (5:30 p.m.). The third and final hearing will be held at City Hall on May 21 (6:45 p.m.).
