SIX MILE - Six Mile Town Council members unanimously passed their Fiscal Year 2008-2009 budget on first reading earlier this month.
The $259,156 budget does not raise taxes.
"Balanced (with) no tax increase," said Mayor John Wade.
The budget devotes $4,000 for next month's Issaqueena Festival, $2,100 to the town's Christmas Parade and a $6,000 allocation to the Six Mile Rec.
Income sources include an expected $75,300 in property taxes, $15,000 in local business licenses and a combined $26,250 in franchise fees.
Second reading of the budget will take place during the May 6 Town Council meeting.
Six Mile Town Council meets at 7 p.m. the first Tuesday of every month in the Six Mile Town Hall building.
