Marshall County Council to Meet Today

The Marshall County Council will meet today where Commissioner Kurt Garner will discuss a rate increase in the Cumulative Bridge Fund.

The proposed increase is for $.0524 cents per $100 assessed valuation. The average taxpayer would see an increase of $26.20. County officials are anticipating a deficit in that fund in 2019 which causes concern about funds to rebuild bridges for public safety.  A public hearing on the matter is set for Monday, March 19 at 10:30 a.m.

Plan Commission President Stan Klotz is also expected to discuss the part-time code enforcement officer position, and Emergency Management Agency Director Clyde Avery and Sheriff Matt Hassel will present grant application requests.

The council members will talk about an amendment to the 2018 salary ordinance and consider additional appropriation and transfer requests.

The Marshall County Council will meet this morning at 9 a.m. in the second floor meeting room in the Marshall County Building at 112 W. Jefferson Street in Plymouth.
