Residents and Neighbors,

The Manager provided minimal increases to summer cemetery staff, traffic signal maintenance, and annual stipends for BADC, BP, BJCJ and the Aldrich Library. Council authorized a portion of surplus funding to bring the proposed tax rate increase to 1.99%. Further discussion is expected prior to finalizing and placing before voters.
