Kremmling\u2019s 2020 budget lays out $1.4 million in spending, an almost 6% increase over 2019.<\/p>\n
According to the budget approved by Kremmling Town Council on Wednesday, the town expects revenue of almost $1.3 million and will dip into this year\u2019s funds to make up the difference.<\/p>\n
Overall revenue is projected to increase slightly in 2020, and sales tax revenue is predicted to go up by 50%. While the town\u2019s mill levy will not rise, property tax revenue will increase based on the new assessment valuation.<\/p>\n
Salaries and wages in the general fund make up 37.3% of
\nexpenditures for 2020. Personnel costs reflect a 3% cost of living increase
\nbased on the Denver-Boulder-Greeley Consumer Price Index.<\/p>\n
The legislative salary has been cut in half due to board meetings being reduced to once a month, and the budget for administration will decrease by $16,000 due to changes in staff.<\/p>\n
The town will contribute $46,000 to the Kremmling Chamber, a $3,000 increase. It\u2019s also giving $1,500 to the Headwaters Trails Alliance and $1,500 to the Grand PLACES initiative.<\/p>\n
The budget allocates another $15,000 for security improvements at town hall and $8,000 for a new copy machine.<\/p>\n
The police department’s budget is down slightly due to changes in staffing. Capital outlay for the department includes a new squad car, spike strip system, in-car citation printers, a Kevlar vest and two iPads.<\/p>\n
