Middletown to OK two year fire contract with no raise this year
Middletown City Council plans to approve a two year firefighters contract that keeps the 2005 budget in balance. Firefighters will not receive a pay raise in 2005 but will gain a 6.5 percent increase in 2006 if approved at the February 15 meeting. Union leaders say the deal buys time while staffing remains a priority and non union workers may also face no raise this year. The mayor and interim city manager say the agreement is temporary to address broader financial problems and no ballot campaign is expected this year. The school levy remains a central focus for the city’s finances and future.

Madison Township crew builds storage barn cutting costs
Madison Township maintenance workers saved about 30000 by constructing a 3750 square foot storage building themselves rather than contracting out. The four man crew handled the build alongside road work and cemetery upkeep over five months, reducing costs from an estimated 100000 plus to about 70000. The project increases consolidated vehicle storage, supports park maintenance, and followed a block grant and donor support for future park development.

Taft to receive school funding report from Blue Ribbon task force
Gov. Taft will today receive recommendations from the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Financing Student Success after more than a year of work. The final report suggests replacing the 20 mill floor with 22 growing mills and lowering the 23 mill charge-off to 22 mills with an inflation cap, a move officials say offers gradual growth though not a cure for constitutionality and equity concerns. Tim McLinden, Carlisle Schools, credits the effort but says it tweaks the system without fixing the core flaw.
