She said at this point they are look- ing at a 5 mill increase but expects this to be reduced because there has been a healthy increase in the County assessed valuation. She noted there has been a dramatic reduction in state and federal funding for the County. Mayor Benson asked if the County is planning any new projects. Mrs. Langfeld explained the situation regarding the solid waste plans for the County and said the PCA is being very uncooperative and ignoring all other experts. This is taking a lot of staff time. There are plans to build a new highway building which will be located in Bun- ker Park near the present site.
