Chapel Hill Town Council members finish fiscal year
After months of build up and discussion, the Chapel Hill Town Council passed a final budget for fiscal year 2005-06 Monday with little discussion.
“We thank you very much for you hard work on the budget this year,” Town Manager Cal Horton told council members.
The new budget sets a tax rate of 52.2 cents per $100 of assessed property value — a 2.9-cent increase.
The budget includes pay plans for town employees — a topic that has drawn much debate and could face tougher scrutiny from council members next year.
