The ordinance has been in the works for months and the Silver Lake City Council approved a storm water utility at its Feb. 21 meeting.
City Clerk Kerry Venier said the purpose of the utility is not to make a lot of money, but to lessen the tax burden on the cost of maintenance and repairs of the system.
The new utility is estimated to generate around $13,200 annually. The city has spent nearly $72,000 on repairs and maintenance from 2011-2016.

Trump’s first month like reality TV show

Submitted by admin on Wed, 03/01/2017 - 8:51am

But then again, President Trump is not exactly your cookie-cutter politician.
First disclaimer: I didn’t vote for him. Second disclaimer: I didn’t vote for Hillary either.
