Patricia Briske tours the Westinghouse Bay Resource Management Center in Bay County Florida noting flat Panhandle terrain, pine-lined roads, and a sizable white and blue facility near Panama City.

Richton cuts tax levy rise to 2 percent
Richton Park will raise the tax levy by 2 percent this year instead of 10.6 percent after an additional 64,000 abatement in the water fund.

Tax rate is expected to fall from 1.23 to 1.13 per 100 of equalized AV on a 66.1 million AV. Also awarded bids for pavement and sidewalk work and paid tribute to Trustee Tremaroli.

Matteson considers 37 percent water rate hike
The Matteson Board of Trustees weighs raising village water rates from 2.36 to 3.25 dollars per 1000 gallons for residents and businesses. Village administrator Daniel E. Dubruiel says the increase reflects a Chicago levy on Lake Michigan water via Oak Lawn, the distribution center. A detailed cost table will be presented at the October 2 board meeting.

District 162 predicts improved finances for year
Matteson District 162 boards approves a basically neutral 11.27 million budget with a 17 percent revenue rise and 8 percent spend rise for the coming year. District finance chief David Holm cites 8.5 percent property value growth, higher real estate taxes, extra state aid and $300k tax revenue, while trimming costs by over 300k and delaying maintenance. The 1989-90 salaries rise 3.3 percent, with a 6 percent teacher raise offset by retirements and smaller admin boosts, reducing a prior 1 million plus deficit to about 550k and prompting a Nov. 7 tax increase referendum consideration.
