City Council looks at options for road paving
In a brief work session on next fiscal year’s budget, Darlington City Council members discussed options for raising money to pave more roads in the city.
One option under discussion at last Thursday’s work session was raising sanitation fees on city water bills by about $2 for residents or slightly more for businesses, or both.
Another option was adding a fee of about $50 to property taxes.
Council took no action and seemed to reach no consensus on the issue, and will likely discuss it again in later budget talks.
Also during the work session, Recreation Director Lee Andrews reported that Little League membership has reached about 500 and that sales of food at the ballpark are going briskly.
