A public hearing on the proposed $5.66 million Franklin County budget has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 17.
County residents have been invited to the hearing at 5 p.m. in the superior courtroom on the top floor of the Franklin County Courthouse, according to Julie Magoon, Franklin County clerk. The meeting was originally scheduled for Monday, June 16.
The proposed budget, up 3.5 percent from the year before, includes budgets for county services like the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department, Franklin County District Attorney’s Office and the Franklin County Regional Communications Center.
Residents will be able to ask questions of the county budget committee, made of selectmen from Franklin County towns.
The budget committee will then meet 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 18, for its formal vote on the budget.
The impact on property taxes will not be calculated until after county, school and town budgets are finalized. The current county portion of the property tax rate is $1.06 per $1,000 of assessed value or $106 per $100,000 of property.
