2012 Budget  The preliminary budget was recently finalized. Currently, the estimated cost of state-mandated retirement contributions from the Town of Camillus next year will surge to $1.1 million.  That’s a 19.7% increase over this year, which accounts for nearly half of our projected 2012 budget deficit.  This is just one mandate.  The Town is proposing utilizing $350,000 from the General Reserves fund balance and a 1.6% tax increase.  However, due to a new contract with Waste pick-up, the net effect to a homeowner assessed at $150,000 will be a reduction of approximately $20.00 in their yearly tax bill.  The hearing on the 2012 Budget will be on Thursday, November 10, 7:00 pm at the Town of Camillus offices on W. Genesee Street.   To preview the proposed budget click here:     2012 Preliminary Budget
