The Clarendon College Board of Regents approved the tax rate and the budget for the next fiscal year for the college district when they met last Thursday, August 15.
CC President Tex Buckhaults said the new budget totals about $13 million. Donley County taxpayers will pick up about $786,000 of that bill with the new ad valorem tax rate of $0.2549 per $100 value.
This will be the first year that CC does not tax personal property in Donley County.
The remainder of the budget will be covered by $6.930 million from state appropriations, about $1 million in maintenance taxes in Gray and Childress counties, and the balance from student tuition and fees.
Buckhaults said college staff are getting five percent raises and college faculty are getting raises of three percent or $2,000, whichever is higher.
Capital expenditures planned in the new budget includes replacing roofs on two buildings – part of a rotation plan that will see a roof or two done on all college buildings for a 15 year period – and new drapes for the stage in the Harned Sisters Fine Arts Center.
