The Hall County Board of Commissioners will vote Monday on a proposed 2017 fiscal year budget that includes no property tax increases and earmarks money for employee raises.

The proposed $96.95 million general fund spending plan would use nearly $3 million in reserves to balance the budget and marks a 3.59 percent increase in expenses over the current year’s budget.

The 2017 fiscal year begins July 1.

The proposed spending includes money for 11 new full-time positions, the purchase of an infield grooming machine for the parks department and information technology updates.

Major departmental spending increases include funding for the elections staff to coordinate voting during this November’s presidential election and funding for increased security in probation services.

And added funding for several local agencies is proposed, including the Lake Lanier Olympic Park, Lake Lanier Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Court-Appointed Special Advocate program, Georgia Mountains Community Services and the Edmondson-Telford Center for Children.
