Alburnett seeks approval of $5.6 million bond
Alburnett voters decide on a $5.6 million bond for a school addition and renovations. The plan would add 47,000 square feet, 15 classrooms, labs, a second gym, arts and music rooms, and accessibility upgrades. If approved, taxes would rise about $170.96 annually on a $100,000 home, with a 20 year levy, and the district would move toward a $17.40 property tax rate.

Marengo weighs police force size after officer resignation
Marengo considers cutting full time officers from five to four as budget pressures loom. Police Chief Galen Moser cites a $260,000 proposed budget for next year, with the city budget at $2.1 million. A four-officer plan could save about $21,000 yearly with a $1 raise to reserves, or $17,400 with a $12 per hour raise, starting patrol pay at $13 per hour.
