Marshall City Council weighs budget with Dial-A-Ride fare hike
Marshall officials prepare to discuss the 2012 2013 budget at the April 2 meeting including a study of a Dial A Ride fare increase and millage boost. City Manager Tarkiewicz cites a $373 940 gap and lists potential changes such as reinstating a 1 percent tax collection fee, changing a fulltime code officer to part time, not filling two positions, and cutting seasonal pickups. The council will also review Dial A Ride funding and possible subsidies while preserving essential service. The council also approved an Industrial Facilities Tax abatement for Progressive Dynamics, adding two jobs and retaining two.
