There will be no increase in the mil rate for 2018.
West Easton Council voted to advertise the 2018 Budget last night with only one change made before its approval.
Council voted 5-1 (DePaul, James, Mammana, H. Nodoline, Lewis affirming – Dees dissenting – T. Nodoline absent) to increase the donation to Mary Meuser Library from $8400 in 2017 to $8700 for 2018. This followed a vote to raise the donation to $9000, which was defeated.
The budget includes line items for a part-time police department and the recent increase in compensation for the newly elected Mayor and Council members.
Once advertised the budget will be available to the public for viewing.
Updated 10:15 AM to correct donation amount given in 2017.
