Because the budget overrides the state mandated Tax Levy Capby 1.4p percent, it required 60 percent of the total votes for approval. The vote was 937-592 for a 61.2 percent edge.

The budget of $61,085,529 is an increase of more than $3 million over the 2012-13 budget of $57,995,471. That is a 5.33 percent increase. Taxpayers will see an increase of 4.80 percent.

The average tax increase would be $654 on a property valued at $654,000 and assessed at $18,312.

Hariton and Sold ran unopposed for three-year terms.
