SUMMERDALE - The Summerdale Town Council voted on Monday, Oct. 11 to approve amendments to the budget for fiscal year 2020-21 as well as to adopt the budget for fiscal year 2021-22.
“Budgets are always something that you work through during the year, because there are things that come up that you would never have dreamed of whenever you’re trying to formulate the budget,” said Mayor David Wilson. “I have to commend the staff on the hard work that they’ve done. This is another one of our highest budgets that we’ve ever had.”
The budget for FY21-22 is $5,514,527.46. The newly approved budget includes salary increases for all town employees. Budgeted items include multiple major town projects, such as improvements to the Summerdale Senior Center, waterline and water meter improvements, a new commercial playground at the Splash Park, roadway improvements and more.
“This is a good budget for this little town,” said Wilson. “I would like to say thanks to everybody for doing what they’re supposed to do, it keeps our revenue in place. When I started as mayor our budget was around $300,000, it wasn’t even one million, so we’ve come a long way as far as budgets go. I think that we’re a blessed town, and try to make sure that everybody is treated fairly.”
