City of Milford

Milford City Council had a consulting company conduct the study to assess compensation and classification for city staff.

The district was found to exceed out-of-school suspensions for low income, African American and male students.

The city will construct a new water tower, a drinking water supply well and a treatment facility without raising taxes or utility costs.

If approved, residents will not see an increase in taxes or utility rates as a result of the upgrades.

The 27-lot park is expected to bring 1300 jobs to the area.

Council prepared two ordinances to consider, one that banned recreational sales and one that allowed recreational sales with restrictions.

The changes will go into effect in February's bill.

City Council heard the proposal at its Nov. 25 meeting.

Democrats are poised to gain a supermajority in the Delaware General Assembly following this election, and a Milford-area seat could be the deciding factor.

Mark Whitfield has been the city manager for nearly five years and was Milford's public works director previously.
