Announcing Port North Budget News (June 2005)

Port North has a new balanced budget, which meets all of the Village’s needs, with less than a 3% increase over the previous year thanks to the efforts of Treasurer George Stack and the new Board of Trustees.

This carefully crafted financial plan provides for Village operations, new street, sidewalk and tree work, all likely contingencies and includes from one-time, non-tax revenues, the initial phase of planning and construction costs of the new Village Hall/Village Club.

The Board has also budgeted $8,000 to continue the Village’s practice of supporting community programs. In the past, these funds went to the Port Washington Senior Center ($6,000) and Port Counselling Center ($2,000) for youth programs. Written proposals from residents are encouraged to help identify worthy “Community Development Programs.” If you have any suggestions, you may email us at news at PortWashingtonNorth.org or mail us at Village Hall.

Waterfront Park funds in the amount of $550,000 and Shore Road Traffic Calming funds of $280,000 are not reflected in the budget since they are from State Grants. A New Board, A New Budget
