Middleport Council Grapples With Finances and Fire Chief Resign
Middleport Village Council faced a budget crisis as Fire Chief Everett Bachner resigned after serving since January. Officials reported only 1834.14 in the general fund at February’s end and warned that bills of 100 to 200 would strain cash. Discussions covered expense cuts, potential utility levies, and saving measures such as turning off street lights. The council eyed lagoon sewage options, sewer rate ordinances, and a zoning measure postponed until public input. Applications for pool manager and recreation director were announced.
