The Hamlet Town Board members went over the proposed budget for 2012 at their recent meeting. The proposed budget total for all funds is $408,178. The members cut five percent from last year’s budget. For the fourth year in a row, no pay increases were given.
The North Judson Town Board is reviewing a proposal from DC Tech Solutions where the company is requesting that they be allowed to mount internet equipment on both of the town’s water towers. The Town would also need to pay the monthly NIPSCO charges. In exchange, DC Tech Solutions will offer free internet to all of the town’s offices and offer 2 hours of tech support a month for free. Since the Town already receives free internet service, the Board and the company will discuss alternative exchanges, if feasible, at a later time.
