Monroe considers 0.5 percent income tax plan
Monroe City Council voted 6-0 to place a 0.5 percent income tax renewal on the November ballot. If approved, it would raise about 1.78 million dollars annually and allow elimination of the 1.85 mill permanent fire levy from 1983, about 300000 dollars yearly, with a net gain of roughly 1.4 million to the city treasury. Mayor Boutson said the fire levy relief could ease residents’ property taxes.

Carlisle to seek tax levy for fire rescue EMS expansion
Carlisle City Council approved a plan to place a five year 3.8 mill replacement levy on the November ballot to fund a combined fire rescue and EMS department. The move would replace current 2.0 and 1.8 mill levies and withdraw Carlisle from the JEMS district beginning Jan 1. The measure aims to cover fire protection for Carlisle Franklin and Franklin Township with an estimated 48 dollar yearly cost for a 100000 dollar home. The council also noted staffing and contract changes with Franklin Township and JEMS, and awaited cost estimates from Franklin for taking over Carlisle’s department.
