CLEARFIELD – The Clearfield County Commissioners approved the 2007 budget for the county on Thursday.
Clearfield County residents will see a balanced budget and no real estate tax increase for the coming year. The general fund has both budgeted revenues and expenses of $16,399,586.59.
According to the commissioners, the budget will not draw from the more than $1 million capital reserve fund either. This fund can be used for major projects such as a proposed new air conditioning system at the Clearfield County Jail, election equipment and other proposed projects.
Mike Lytle, county commissioner, voted against the budget, pointing salary increases in certain departments from 3-percent or more.
