Christopher council considers property tax increase, sexual harassment policy

CHIRSTOPHER-  City leaders in Christopher consider a property tax increase, a new sexual harassment policy and a new engineering firm at Monday night’s meeting.

The council voted on a 4.8 percent increase, an increase mayor Gary Bartolotti said will amount to an increase of $3 or $4 for the average home in the city.

“Our liability insurance and workman’s comp has went up over the years and that’s what we got to cover,” Bartolotti said.

The council also voted on a new sexual harassment policy. The proposal brings the city in line with a state law requiring such a policy.
