The Thorsby Town Council approved the revenue part of its 2012 budget Monday night.

The town projects it will take in $1,906,625 this year — that’s up from the $1.797 million budget for 2011. Actual revenue numbers from 2011 were not available Monday night, but Mayor Dearl Hilyer estimated those at around $1.8 million. The budgeted revenue includes both the general fund and the water department.

Hilyer said the forecasted revenue was conservative and estimates that the city will probably take in less property tax this year compared to last and only slightly more sales tax revenue.

“I went very cautious, very conservative with this (budget),” Hilyer told the council.

The council had not approved expenses by 7:30 p.m. Monday, but Hilyer said expenses would be less than budget revenue. Check clantonadvertiser.com for updated information about expenses or see Wednesday’s paper.
