She indicated that a 2% increase in the budget was expected, for a total $440,000 <br />budget, accompanied by a $252,000 levy amount. Although she was disappointed to report the <br />increase, she pointed out that additional expenses including a 2004 user survey, boat count survey, <br />and purchase of a barge to assist in the harvesting of exotics impacted the upcoming budget. <br />McMillan stated that Orono's portion of the increase would be approximately $1,400 to its levy <br />amount and asked for Council's comments on the increase. <br />Moorse stated that, due to budget cuts in all branches of government, the City of Orono would not <br />be increasing its 2004 budget. He questioned why the LMCD was not striving to hold the line on <br />• their budgets, given the cutbacks throughout the area. <br />PAGE 1 of 15 <br />
