During a work session of a draft of the upcoming budget, the Wilkesboro Town Council did some cutting.  The Wilkesboro Town Council met this week and decided to cut $265,500 from the General Fund spending.  As for raising the Property Tax, the Council is considering a possible 4 cent rather than 5 cent increase.  The tax rate hasn't been raised since the 2006-07 Budget.  Cuts in the budget draft included a 2.5 rather than a 5 percent salary increase for employees of the town, not adding a second fire marshal to the fire dept, not purchasing 2 police dept vehicles, removing construction at Cub Creek Park, reducing town's allocation to the Wilkes EDC, and making cuts to the utility fund.  A Public Hearing and vote on the proposed Wilkesboro Town Budget is set for June 6.
