Town Board approves Hurley's 2024 budget in Special Meeting

The Town Board on Monday, Oct. 30, approved the 2024 Hurley budget, which totals $3,815,773 and keeps the property tax levy at the 2023 level.

The vote for passage was 3-1. Voting in favor were Supervisor Melinda McKnight, Councilman/Deputy Supervisor Peter Humphries and Councilman Gregory Simpson. The “no” vote was cast by Councilman Michael Boms. Councilwoman Jana Martin was absent.

With revisions agreed to by the Town Board during an Oct. 24 public hearing, combined General Fund and Highway Fund appropriations in the newly approved budget are about 3.7% lower than the 2023 total of $3,960,561.

The 2024 spending package leaves the combined General Fund and Highway Fund tax levy at the 2023 level of $2,347,261.

The final budget was to be voted on at the Town Board’s Nov. 14 meeting, but with no changes made at the Oct. 30 meeting, Councilman Simpson made a motion that the plan be approved.
