Council discusses Public Safety Mill Levy

The Whitehall Town Council discussed last week a possible mill levy increase on the general fund.

The Council unanimously approved a motion that will set up two hearings for public comments on a possible Public Safety Mill Levy to generate funding for law enforcement and the Whitehall Volunteer Fire Department. Members of the governing body are asking county officials to see what the increase would cost local residents.

This would be the first general fund mill levy increase in Whitehall since the early 1970's and would only affect residents in Town Limits.
