Town to hold hearing on its new district

The town of Elmer City has set Sept. 14, as the date for a public hearing on assuming the rights, powers and functions of its Transportation Benefit District. The hearing will be at 6:45 p.m., just prior to the town’s monthly council meeting at 7.

The town passed its TBD ordinance on Dec. 10, 2015, creating the boundaries as the town limits, and has since collected about $3,800, which is allocated for street improvement.

The public hearing will deal with the town council assuming the duties of the district and will take input on what streets might be improved with the funds.

The $20 collected per license on cars, trucks and some trailers is dedicated for street improvement and must be kept separate from other town funds.

The public is invited to the public hearing.
