LONG LAKE — Long Lake Central School District voters overwhelmingly approved the district’s roughly $5.2 million budget for the coming year.

According to unofficial results posted on the district’s Facebook page, the budget passed with 86 “yes” votes to 16 “no” votes — along with 10 blank ballots. Of the ballots where voters made a choice on the budget, it passed with about 84.31% in favor to 15.69% against.

The district’s propositions to create reserve funds for future bus purchases and capital projects each passed. Prop. 1, which created the capital reserve fund, was approved with a tally of 104-8, or approximately 92.86% in favor to 7.14% against. There were no blank ballots. Prop. 2, which created the bus reserve fund, passed with 93.75% of the vote, 105 to 7. There were no blank ballots.

LLCSD board Vice President Tara Murphy, who ran unopposed, was reelected.

The approved budget carries a tax levy of $3,591,771, a $99,735, or 2.85% increase, from last year’s $3,492,035. This year’s increase is at the tax cap, and therefore required a simple majority to pass.

The estimated tax rate for the town of Long Lake would be $5.90 per $1,000 of assessed property value, 13 cents more than last year, meaning someone with a home assessed at $300,000 in the town of Long Lake would pay around $1,770 in school taxes, $39 more than last year.

The estimated tax rate for the town of Arietta would be $4.66 per $1,000 of assessed property value, five cents more than last year, meaning someone with a home assessed at $300,000 in the town of Arietta would pay around $1,398 in school taxes, $15 more than last year.
