June 25, 2024 - City of Shelbyville Approves Final Budget and Property Tax Rate for 2024-2025
Two items on the budget were changed from the budget meeting held on June 12. First, the pay raises for employees was increased from the previously-discussed 3% to 4% for all city employees. There was also a failed attempt to raise that amount to 5%. Council members Christie, Isaacs, and Feldhaus voted for the 5% raises. Mayor Carroll broke the 3-3 tie with a no vote. The 4% passed 4-2 with yes votes by Turnbow, Christie, Haile and Ewing. The second change in the budget from previous discussions was an increase in funding for the Shelbyville-Bedford County Public Library. The city's funding for the library will be increasing to $164,812 which is the first increase they have given the library in five years. The increased library funding passed by a vote of 4-2. Council members Turnbow, Isaacs, Haile, and Feldhaus were the yes votes. |
