Nov. 5, 2013 8:14 pm
Voters in Mount Vernon voted to extend a Capital Improvement Fund that will finance a new fire truck and other fire prevention vehicles for the city's fire department.
The levy received 58 percent approval and will continue a levy of 67.5 cents per $1,000 taxable value of real estate property. City Administrator Michael Beimer said officials expect it could generate $60-65,000 annually.
This is the third time city voters have voted to approve the levy, which will last 10 years and will go into effect on Sept. 1, 2014.
