No Tax Increase in Edgewood for 2013
Also, new police car purchased, full-time police officer hired.
Here are some highlights from last week's Edgewood Council meeting:
- Council set the borough tax rate at 5.65 mills on each $1,000 of assessed value of a home or property. This makes the 2013 budget revenue neutral, and indicates no tax increase for 2013. Assessment appeals are still being heard.
- Joseph Tomko was sworn in as a full-time police officer by Mayor Ed Cook.
- The borough will purchase a 2012 Dodge Charger police car from Tri-Star Motors for $26,987.
