The Le Roy Village Board considered a new budget, established a new ZBA, and agreed to a new meeting schedule.
The property tax rate would increase by a penny under the tentative 2016-17 village budget that was the subject of a brief public hearing Wednesday night.
Mayor Greg Rogers’ $3.375 million spending plan calls for a tax rate of $10.46 per $1,000 assessed value.
The owner of a home assessed for $85,000 would pay $889.10 in taxes next year, an increase of 85 cents.
The levy, or the amount to be raised by property taxes, would be $1,723,265. That is an increase of about 1.5 percent from the current budget.
No one spoke during Wednesday’s hearing. The board took no action on the budget, which must be adopted by May 1. The village’s 2016-17 fiscal year begins June 1.
In other action, the board adopted Local Law No. 1, which establishes an independent village Zoning Board of Appeals. That action was forced by the Town Board, which voted last month to establish an independent town ZBA.
Named to the village ZBA were Thomas Spadaro, Robert Scott and Charles VanBuskirk. Each had previously served as a village representative to the shared ZBA.
Rogers expects to appoint a fourth individual to serve as alternate ZBA member during the Village Board’s next meeting.
That will take place on April 20, thanks to a change in the board’s meeting schedule.
Beginning next week, the Village Board will meet at 7 p.m. the first Monday and third Wednesday of each month. Meetings had previously been every second and fourth Wednesday.
The Monday meetings will be work sessions, and take place on an as-needed basis, Rogers said.
