| Emily Council Sets Proposed 2010 LevyThe Emily City Council approved Resolution 09-13 for the proposed tax levy collectible in 2010 in the amount of $885,659.00 at the regular monthly meeting held Tuesday, September 8. The breakdown is as follows: General Fund $715,364.00, Sewer Fund 78,595.00, G.O. Permanent Improvement Bond Series 2005A 26,900.00, G.O. Sewer Revenue Bond 2006 64,800.00. The city’s Truth in Taxation hearing will be held during the public forum portion of council’s regular monthly meeting on December 8, at 6:00 p.m. Council approved a reduction in hours for the Police Department from November through March of each year. Crow Wing County is moving to a common policy procedure for domestic assault and related cases and the Emily Police Department approved to send four officers for training in Brainerd in October at no cost except compensation of time. Emily First Responders were approved to purchase five Zoll AED’s for $999 plus tax each including batteries, defib pads, and a two-year service contract. The unit usually sells for $1,595 without the two-year contract. Council approved Tanya Pierson as the new First Response Secretary after the resignation of Lisa Schweitzer in June, 2009. City Engineers Jeff Ledin of S.E.H. reported he would notify Crow Wing County Highway Department that the asphalt patching was part of the agreement to correct the drainage on County Road 1 and verify that the seeding is done. Ledin is checking on State aid bonding money for the bridge maintenance that will help reduce the amount needed in the budget. At the November 2009 regular meeting, the council will receive estimated costs to expand the sewer district.
