FARMINGTON — The Franklin County Budget Committee will hold a public hearing on a nearly $5 million budget proposed for 2010-11 on Thursday, June 24.

The meeting will begin at 6 p.m. upstairs in the Superior Court room at the County Courthouse.

The Budget Committee added back $20,000 for a program grant for Western Maine Transportation by a 7-1 vote, according Committee Secretary Irv Faunce’s minutes of Thursday’s meeting.

The Committee’s total it proposes for grants is $231,110, up from the previous $211,110 it initially recommended.

Commissioners are recommending $270,860 in grants for programs in the proposed $5 million budget.

The Committee also did not fund Threshold to Maine by a 6-2 vote, according to Faunce. Commissioners are recommending $750.

SeniorsPlus was tabled until the public hearing pending additional information from the agency.

The Committee previously voted to not fund SeniorsPlus. Commissioners are recommending $36,000 be raised and appropriated for that agency.
