From the Shelbyville News:
The Morristown Town Council will have a public hearing during its next meeting to discuss a proposal for a new property tax.
The council is considering establishing a new capital improvement fund, which would mean an additional tax on property. The immediate plan is for the money to go toward a new fire station.
Many municipalities, including Shelbyville and Hanover Township, have the tax already.
It would add 2 cents for every $100 of property value the first year, 3 cents for every $100 the second year and 5 cents for every $100 the third year on.
"After the public meeting, we'll take it up for consideration," said Clerk-Treasurer Don Roberts.
The next meeting is 7 p.m. July 25.
The town council also moved, 3-0, to raise fees for solid waste pickup. Currently town residents pay $6 per month, though the cost is $6.50.
