Malvern Village Council Monday night passed an emergency resolution to place a 2-mill renewal levy on the November 4 ballot for the Village Fire Department.

The levy, which will run for five years, provides the department with approximately $15,000 yearly for the operation and maintaining of the fire equipment and building.

At its July 21 meeting, council approved placing a 7-mill continuous levy on the ballot for police protection. It would raise nearly $100,000 yearly and cost the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $214.97 annually.
