The Hendrick Hudson Free Library holds its annual meeting this Monday, April 28 at 8:15 p.m. where its Board of Directors will present the library’s proposed budget for 2008-09. The spending plan goes to voters on May 20 along with school budget referendums and library officials are hoping that anyone interested in the library’s operations come to learn more and ask questions at this session.
The library is, says director Jill Davis, one of the most used community resources with lots to offer people of all ages.
The total budget proposal is $1,267,075. Property owners will be asked for $770,355, which represents $48,000 more than the current fiscal year, 2007-08. The budget to budget increase is 5.85 percent and Davis said the biggest factors driving the numbers are increased utility costs and higher expenses for contracted services like snow plowing and landscaping maintenance. Under the proposed plan, the tax rate in Cortlandt would increase by $1.40 per $1,000 of assessed value and in Peekskill an increase of $2.82 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The library is at 185 Kings Ferry Road in Montrose. Check out the library in person (see a photo from its home page above to entice your) or online at its Website.
