BROWN COUNTY Commissioners will certify the 2021 Brown County Budget and Levy on Tuesday, Dec. 15.
The proposed $14,141,462 levy is 2.79% ($384,506) above the certified 2020 levy. The overall county budget would increase 7.26% in 2021, but total appropriations are 5.1% less than the 2020 budget.
There is a $100,000 contingency line item at this time. With the uncertainty in the 2021 legislative session, the assurance of aid Brown County receives from the State is questionable.
Commissioners will also consider:
⢠The sheriff’s office purchasing 15 Axon X26P tasers for $19,793 to replace existing tasers to be taken out of service, deemed surplus, and declared excess property for disposal/sale.
