Bluffton council okayed 2012 appropriations on Monday, which total approximately $6.2 million. The largest expense is a projected $1.4 million water improvement project that will take place only if village voters approve a one-quarter percent income tax on the spring primary.

If voters say "yes" then the village will proceed with the replacement of water lines on the South Lawn-Grove Street area, Sunset Drive and Geiger Street. The one-quarter income tax would be taken off once the project is paid for.
