Tax bases for the individual towns.in the district are not yet-actual figures,, however. Estimates show now that the rates should come oui to be $32.57 per 1,000 of assessed value for taxpayers in Palmyra, $1 3.62 per 1,000 in Macedon,\ $14.70 for those Pal-Mac district tax- payers from Walworth and $1826 for Manchester residents. In explaining the larger impact for Palmyra residents, Dr. Tobin explained that the only number the school district was answerable for w& the 4.43% net impact ofi the average tax payer, not the ampunt they pay a;fter figuring in the tax base of the towns. acedo don is growing more rapidly. We have tdgrow and develop in ~algyra to ease our tax burden. I commend Stu- Carlson (Macedon Town Supervisor) for such a healthy rate of growth in ace don. The growth is high quality, and predidtable, but not rampant. They are accming the benefits frbm that jpwth,\stated Tobin. Dr. Tobin -summe4 pp by recom- mending that the Board of Education adopt 'the new budgetas one proposition, and that the entire fund balance of $800,000 be used to reduce the tax le+. After receiving cozprnents from those residents in attendance, and discussing it among..~hemselves, the school board unan'im&usly zigeed that the new budget of $1 6,497,737 be presented to the publie for a* vote on Wednesday, July 25th at the ~almyra ~ernentary~chool on c&- daigua Street in Palmyra from 6 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Rue topur impending dove ta West Wayne Plaza, -in .-~acedon,on JU€~ 1 st, there rill .be no issue of THE TIMES on July 3rd.

Gananda Voters Asked to, , - Reconsider School Budget - Gananda' residents met with Board of Education- members and Super- intendent Dr. Larry R Pedersen on ~onda~, June 18 apd Tuesday, June 19th to learn morec'about the school- district's proposed $6,280,434.00 opera- ting budget for the 1990-91 school year. Voters rejeeted the budget when it waS - ftrst presented for public vote on May ' .23. A second vote on the same proposed \budget will occur on Wednesday, June / 27 from 1:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the Middle School/ High School, Since the' May vote, district official; responded to community requests for further explanations on the proposed budget. One response was the distri- bution of ii detailed budget brochure. It listed proposed. expnses on a line by line basis and explained their increases or decreases. In addition to the brochure and the two iliformational meetings, home meetings were scheduled. When describing the budget, Dr. Pedersen said, \ws ,is definiteIy a 'no frills' budget. It maintahs district pro- grams and state mandates are met. It is not an extravagant package.\ . , - , In May, district residents rejected both the $6,280,434 operating budget proposal and a $1 50,000 proposition for. the purchase of land for a bus garage and rnaintenyce facility. The Board- . . decided to resu5init the budget and to postpone the land purchase proposition --- until further study could be completed. Reasons for submitting the same ' proposed budget were explained by Rubepi Cio, Board of Education presi- dent. He commented that further reduc- tions in the budget would have cut too deeply into programs. He also said hat additional reductions were considered, but board members deemed them to be unacceptable. The budget's 7.5% increase yields a 15% tax increase. for property owners. The major share ofihe increase comes from the districts sh-ara of the costs for thctconstruction of the elementaqGchoo1. and its addition and the .middle school/. high school roof replacement and building renovations. ~rojections reveal that approximately $3.25 of the proposed $13.8 1 per assessed $1,000 tax rate in Macedon and $14.38 per thousand tax rate in Walworth goes toward financing these projects. The projected costs, referred to as debt service, start a. declining trend in 1994. It can be noted that the-exclusion - of the debt service farom the p\roposed 'budget would have resulted in a 1% budget increase instead of the 7.5% - increase. Seven hundred seventy five district residents or approximately one third of eligible voters, cast ballots during the first vote. 1t is. anticipated that voter , turnout will be greater for the June 27 vote.
