Berlin Town Board Action, Part Two – Bridges
by Kieron Kramer
At the Berlin Town Board meeting on Thursday, November 8, not all the highway talk was about buying the new truck which was reported last week. Highway Superintendent Jim Winn also informed the meeting that the bridge on Satterlee Hollow Road had been red flagged. By the Thursday of the meeting Winn had already had the bridge repaired, and the red flag was removed. The ibeams under the bridge decking “were getting bad” so metal plates and poured concrete were put under them by Dave Goodermote Construction. Winn added that the Department is getting ready for winter and is finishing patching, having recently just done some patching on Cherry Plain Square.

Berlin Budget Sets Tax Levy Increase At 2.3%
by Kieron Kramer
At their regular meeting on Thursday, November 8, the Berlin Town Board voted unanimously, 4-0, to adopt the 2013 budget with a 2.3% tax levy increase. Board Member John Winn was absent having been called to duty by his employer, the State Highway Department. The increase complies with the State mandated 2% tax increase cap which allows for a “tax base growth factor,” based on the inflation rate calculated by the State, and “the tax levy necessary for pension contribution expenditures caused by growth in the [pension] system average… in excess of 2%.” [Read more…] about Berlin Budget Sets Tax Levy Increase At 2.3%
