The Town of Gibraltar was able to get the 2021 budget passed with two resolutions Monday evening.  Over 40 town electors voted during the meeting that lasted about 90 minutes.  By state law, residents of a township must vote to approve the budget at the annual meeting.  Town of Gibraltar Chair Steve Sohns says after addressing questions and concerns, the two resolutions dealing with exceeding the levy limit by 20.66 percent, passed by a considerable majority.

The vote on exceeding the levy limit passed by a 28-18 vote while the resolution for electors to adopt the town tax levy was approved by a 24-17 margin. The town levy to be collected in 2021 will be $2,521,635.88.  Sohns appreciated the turnout of people that asked questions and provided input on keeping the Town of Gibraltar running efficiently.
