(Cleveland)- The White County Board of Commissioners has given approval to the Fiscal Year 2020 county budget. Monday following a second public hearing on the proposed budget the commissioners gave unanimous approval to the 19-point 19- million dollar general fund budget.
In presenting the budget figures County Finance Director Jodi Ligon said this is a 2.61 percent increase in the 2019 budget. She also said there will be a need to dip into the county fund balance for almost a million dollars to meet the new budget.
The commissioners said the new budget was based on keeping the county’s current 10.75 tax millage rate in place.
The commissioners are expected to set this years tax millage rate in late July.
