2013 Budget

December 5th, 2012

After much hard work over the past several months the town has passed its budget.  Increases to the budget totaled approximately $421,000.  This includes State Retirement Benefits ($162,000), wage increases ($131,000), and health insurance costs ($118,000).  The majority of these costs are out of our control.  Couple this with the lost in state aid (est. $80,000) and one can imagine the arduous task at hand.  The majority of property owners in the 2nd Ward will see a decrease of roughly 4.3%, this is mainly due to the consolidation of the Camillus Water District with OCWA.  Other property owners will see a slight increase of 1.3%.  However, it should be noted that the base rate we were able to achieve is the lowest (6.639) since 1996.  My thanks to all the department heads, Comptroller Albunio, Supervisor Coogan, Deputy Supervisor Callahan for the many days and nights of hard work.  I also want to thank my follow Town Councilors for their efforts as well.   The Budget can be accessed by clicking here:  2013 Camillus Budget
