Schools Seek Additional Mill For Operating Expenses
The district requests a 2 mill levy for operating costs at the school and workshop, the first since 1968, projected to raise about $70,000 or $2 per year per taxpayer.

A .2 renewal levy for the health department appears, to run five years and cost homeowners about $5 annually, funded by a split .3 and .2 mill structure existing as tradition.
