The Dover City Council voted for a two percent proposed levy increase for the general fund for the 2013 budget. That amounts to approximately $3,000. The council felt it was important to have that amount available, but they do have the opportunity to lower it or eliminate it in December. Mayor Roger Ihrke said it is important to have the increase available if needed because of the things that may affect the city. “In a community like this it is snow and how much we spend on snow removal,” said Ihrke. “We normally spend $25,000. Two years ago it was $60,000 and last year it was $16,000.”
The 2013 budget will decrease significantly because of the road project in progress. The city will spend approximately $300,000 on road repair this year and will budget for $30,000 next year. Next month the council will look at water and sewer assessments.
A second crew has been brought in to help with the County Road 10 reconstruction project. The project is still on schedule to be completed by October 15. Because of some sewer lines not needing to be replaced, the project is currently running under budget.
The council did not adjourn and continued their meeting until 5:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 18. The reason for the extension is to meet with owners of a home that is partially in the right-of-way. The council wants to come to an agreement with the owners to keep the County Road 10 project on track. According to Mayor Ihrke, the owners know they have to make changes. The council is concerned with an issue that has come up because of the road construction. Bus service to Dover has been eliminated and they will work to get the service restarted.
With fall in the air, you may want to keep Saturday, October 13 open. That is the day for the Pumpkin Festival in Dover.
