Reassessment Debate Shapes County Budget Actions
County supervisors weigh fast tracking a 1979 reassessment amid calls from Ken Stiles of the Frederick County Farm Bureau and local officials noting inequities under the current system.

Landfill rates rise to 3.10 per ton effective Jan 25 to cover equipment repairs, with protests from four private haulers over higher costs. The board also reviews lease terms for the Citgo site on Cameron and Boscawen Streets, debating a long term contract versus potential county facility needs, and approves a news release on Building Code permit requirements.
