During Monday night’s meeting the Jackson Board Alderman gave their approval to the budget for the upcoming year. Next year’s beget calls for a rise in the water, sewer, trash, and electric collection. The entire fee increase comes out to be 1.9% higher than rates are now.  City officials say the increases are consistent with the recent increase in the consumer price index. The city’s trash collection will increase from $6 to $10. City officials estimate that the increases will bring in about $400,000 to $425,000 in revenue for the city. The fee increase will go into effect in February. The approval for the increases came after a hearing that the public was invited to. During the hearing no one was against the fee increases. The total amount for the coming year’s budget stands at $33.8 million. Along with the fee increases compensation and income guiltiness for the coming year were also approved for city employees. The increase in paid salary for city employees will be 10% greater than the city’s current wage.
