EARLVILLE – The Village of Earlville board is proposing a zero percent tax levy increase for the coming fiscal year, and while the budget is not yet final, the board is looking at further ways to cut spending and save the taxpayers some money.

Although the board is still looking at ways to decrease the budget for the coming year, currently, the general fund budget totals $390,998, a decrease of $12,000 in spending from last year. Village Clerk Christian Vischi explained that while the village has not eliminated any programs, they have looked at what programs could be funded at lesser amounts than last year.

Of the total general fund budget, $192,118 will be funded through the tax levy, which shows no change from last year.
