Budget

In the next 60 days, the Council and the Staff will be preparing our FY 2008-2009 Budget. As you are well aware, the Town lost some $600,000 dollars because of the County’s switching methods of sales tax distribution.

Salary

As you may or may not be aware, your Town Council and Committee members serve without pay. We are all volunteers. Our cell phones, fuel and other things while attending to Town business are paid for out of our personal pockets.

Safety Reminder

As you are driving through Mills River take some extra precautions and watch for people both walking and riding their bicycles. On a similar note, give those tractors and farm equipment a wide berth. Chances are they’re not going far and want to get off the road as soon as possible.
