May Vote Set for Local Sales Tax Board
Voters will decide in May on creating a local economic development board funded by a half percent sales tax. The board would finance repairs to major throughfares central to the town’s economy, as said by Mayor Richard Pollok. The measure passed narrowly in a city council vote, prompting debate over road repairs and east-side disparities. Police Chief Ron Ullevig warned manpower is critically low with only two full-time officers and a few reservists. loss of reservists leaves no on duty patrolman 24/7. Council agreed Poth needs a third officer but budget limits prevent adding staff. As an interim step, reserve Patrolman Allen Williams will work 20–25 hours weekly at 7 dollars hour without benefits. Ullevig noted traffic fines are a key revenue source. Main thoroughfares work may be pursued by the economic board under state law.
