The White River Township Board and Trustee recently held their budget meeting. Board members Trent Gordon, Suzanne Flanders, and John Dean joined Trustee Jamie Rulon.
The upcoming budget’s local rate is set at 0.2833, which is much lower than last year’s rate of 0.4483.
The Board passed the required capital improvement plan and also gave the trustee authority not to be required to spend all of the budget that the state has approved. The township’s insurance company agreed to pay $107,982 for the damaged generator.
A budget line item was added to omit any road tax in White River Township.
Fire Chief Garry Harling will hold grain bin training in the near future, with an anticipated cost of $195 per student for the eight-hour class. Chief Harling reported 270 runs so far this year, with 360 runs expected in 2025 total, a 30 percent increase.
