Lind Town Council approves 2020 budget

The Lind Town Council has approved the town’s budget for 2020.

Mayor Paula Bell presented the budget to the council and the public at a public hearing on Dec. 10. Later that night, in the regular meeting, the council approved it.

The biggest changes involved which funds each town employee is paid out of. Small raises of some employees were approved. The salary of the mayor and town councils were not changed.

The vote also formalized the previously agreed upon raise of $3 of garbage, water and sewage prices for the town.

Mostly, the budget is much the same as it was in 2019.
