Brimfield’s Issue 15 seeks to add nearly $600,000 to the annual police budget

- Lyndsey Brennan

The Brimfield Police Department is asking voters to approve a 1.95-mill levy that would generate an additional $594,823 in funding per year and allow the department to hire at least two new officers, make equipment and vehicle upgrades, and provide ongoing training for employees.

If passed, homeowners would pay an additional $68 per $100,000 of valuation in property taxes per year.
