The Mt. Airy Town Council is expected to adopt the town’s 2024 budget during its meeting Tuesday night.
The budget consists of three funds: general, GCIC, and water. The budgeted amounts for each fund are $408,045 for the general fund, $345,011 for the GCIC (Georgia Crime Information Center) fund, and $404,000 for the water fund.
The portion of the budget going to pay for animal control will drop by nearly $5,000 as the result of negotiations with the Habersham County Commission regarding the intergovernmental agreement (IGA).
The proposed reduction of $4,889.80 compared to last year is the result of a new formula that considers the contributions of property owners to the county digest.
The Mt. Airy Town Council will also consider projects to include in the Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG).
LMIG is distributed by the Georgia Department of Transportation for road maintenance and improvements.
GDOT awarded Mt. Airy a grant of $28,835.61 for 2024, which will require a 30% match from the town. The town’s match for the grant is expected to be $8,650.68.
The meeting starts at 6:30 p.m., January 16, in the Town Hall at 1231 Dicks Hill Parkway in Mt. Airy. The public is encouraged to attend.
