County Council votes to take on sewer debt

PLYMOUTH — Monday night at their monthly meeting, the Marshall County Council voted to take on the

debt incurred by the soon-to-be-dissolved Marshall County Regional Sewer District.
President of the Council — Tim Harmon — made the motion calling for a special appropriation of $2 million to cover the remaining debt.

Harmon said the preliminary numbers indicated the $2 million should be more than sufficient, and any extra in the appropriation would return to the general fund.
Earlier in the meeting, Harmon outlined the overall financial state of the county, stating that there was a balance of just under $11 million in the general fund and just over $4 million in the county’s “rainy day” fund, which is $1.563 million higher than a year ago.
