The DeWitt County Board in a special meeting tonight will take up its final piece of business before swearing in a new board in a few weeks in passing the fiscal year 21 budget.

Board Chair David Newberg calls this year's budget "a great budget" and thanks County Administrator DeeDee Rentmeister and Vice-Chair of the Board Camille Redman who is the Board's finance committee chair.

Newberg indicates this year's tax increase is minimal and also includes a slight bump in the levy for the ambulance service, even as the County adds the Farmer City Fire Protection district to its jurisdiction.
