Albemarle County Executive Tom Foley presented the 2012-2013 proposed budget to the Board of Supervisors on Friday.
The recommended budget totals $311,677,759, a 2.4 percent increase from the 2011-2012 adopted budget. It is balanced on an equalized tax rate of 76.4 cents, which will result in no tax increase for many homeowners for the fourth year in a row.
Albemarle Couny’s School Division would receive $99.5 million, an increase of $2.2 million from last year’s budget.
The proposed budget also includes additional support for public safety needs, such as increased training for police officers and recruitment initiatives for fire and rescue workers.
A one percent pay raise for employees is also included in the proposed budget.
A public hearing has been set for February 29 at 6:00 p.m. at the Albemarle County Office Building on McIntire Road.
