From the Madison Courier:
The Jefferson County Council adopted its complete 2013 budget of $13.8 million Tuesday night, slightly higher than its operating budget for this year.
The budget, which the council approved unanimously, contains a $6.9 million general fund, which was the advertised amount. The County Economic Development Tax and highway budget will be set at $3,059,646, the health fund will be $893,249 and the cumulative funds combined will total $1,485,566.
With the approval, the budget will now be sent to the Department of Local Government Finance for final tweaks and review before the council officially certifies it.
The general fund for this year was certified at $6,497,834, while the total budget was certified at $10,869,830. Last year, the Department of Local Government Finance cut the adopted budget by 6.2 percent.
