RISING SUN â With plans to hold the property tax rate at 46 cents per $100 of assessed value Rising Sun officials are trying to find ways to do more with less in the Fiscal 2022 budget.
The new budget only gives Rising Sun another $25,000 more than the current budget. Commissioner Dave Warnick noted there are line items in the new plan, which were absent in the FY 2021 budget because of the uncertainties surrounding the pandemic.
âThereâs a lot of things we didnât spend money on in 2020 . like Sunfest and Spooktacular,â Warnick said.
Rising Sun will open bids June 23 on an aggressive paving project for which the town has budgeted nearly $1 million. Thatâs expected to address the parking lot at Valley View Village off of East Main Street.
âWeâre going to finish Valley View,â said Calvin Bonenberger, town administrator.
Rising Sun paid a contractor to come in and re-pave the entire townhouse development off East Main Street last year.
âWe paved it, and then a water line broke. We put in a new line with a new connections, but we could not pave. We had to allow (the ground) to settle,â Bonenberger added.
That broken water line also left a ripple effect in much of the new paving, which will also need to be addressed.
Rising Sun also plans to pave about a half dozen streets from curb to curb, Bonenberger said. That includes Mount Street in the area of Pogue Avenue all the way to Route 1 and Pearl Street in the vicinity of Rising Sun Middle School.
