The Salem City Council Monday night will be asked to apply for a $1-million grant to reline approximately 10,000 linear feet of sewer line. The grant will require an increase in sewer rates for some customers, but a rebate for the amount of the increase is also on the agenda.
The council will be asked to approve a 3.99-percent increase in this year’s property tax levy to meet the city’s needs.
The council will be asked to increase the cost of a three year golf cart sticker from $35 to $60 and the cost of food vendor licenses from $25 to $100. City Manager Annette Sola says the current costs of the licenses do not cover the cost of issuing them.

The cost of the agreement for Airport Road is $70,500 and $97,000 for West Whitaker.
The meeting begins at six Monday night at Salem City Hall.
