While the projected tax rate may drop, the budget is up slightly. The roughly 2 percent increase, or $340,000, was laid at the feet of contractual salary raises, benefits and capital projects. Final budget numbers will be set by June 20, when the council will vote on whether to approve it.

Northern Light updates council on vaccine rolloutÂ
ELLSWORTH â Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Centerâs director of clinical education, Dr. Jim Jarvis, presented COVID-19 vaccine information to the City Council on Dec. 21. He was joined by Senior Physician Executive at Northern Light Blue Hill Hospital Dr. Mike Murnik and Director of Communications Kelley Columber.
The information session followed Councilor Robert Millerâs COVID-19 Education slideshow he said would be made available on the city of Ellsworthâs website. Miller has been a pharmacist for 25 years and a disaster pharmacist since 2002.
The Northern Light team attended the meeting virtually to âlet the community know what to expectâ with vaccine distribution, potential allergic reactions and other questions arising out of the emergence of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
