The $28 million spending plan is a 4.67 percent increase over 2015, but the tax levy will only increase by 1.71 percent. 

The mayor and council changed health providers which will yield a 20 percent savings over the previous year. 

On the typical residential property assessment of $460,245 the average amount of municipal taxes to be paid will be $3,523, a $29.00 decrease from the amount paid last year.

A public hearing on the new budget is tentatively scheduled for May 16.
