Placeholder Image
The anticipated mill levy increase for Barton Community College may be smaller than anticipated — possibly no increase at all — college trustees learned Tuesday.As recently as May, Dean of Administration Mark Dean warned that a mill levy increase might be needed to compensate for up to $2 million in potential cuts. That included lost revenue from the state and a sharp drop in oil valuations. On top of that, the decision to invest in the college’s indoor swimming pool was also falling to taxpayers and the non-college groups that use the pool.
