oved a $867,379 budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year last Wednesday, a figure down $35,125 from the $902,504 in expenditures adopted last year.

The village will collect $606,454 in overall taxes, up from $597,331 last year, due to a decrease in the village’s overall property tax assessment from $1,122,038 in 2014-15 to $1,078,178. 

Of the overall tax figure, $566,919.75 will be raised in village property taxes, while $39,534.25 will be raised to fund Plandome Manor’s annual fire department obligations.

Approximately $60,000 in village surplus funds will be appropriated toward funding the budget, as well as an expected $272,615 in non-tax revenue.

The village has projected $30,632 in non-tax revenue to help pay for $100,000 in road reconstruction expenditures.

Plandome Manor has appropriated $20,000 for salt and $50,000 for labor toward snow removal. It is the same amount the village budgeted last year for salt, and $10,000 more in contractual fees.

Garbage pick-up costs are also going up, from $115,200 in 2014-15 to $124,140 in 2015-16, according to the village’s budget document.
