Body

BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:

City Council held work sessions on the FY 2017-18 Budget and 2017 tax rates on August 14, 15, 16, 21, and 22, 2017.  The first public hearing on the proposed rate was held on August 24, 2017.  The 2017 tax rate is scheduled to be adopted on September 11, 2017.

There is no proposed tax rate increase for FY 2017-18.  Therefore, the total proposed tax rate for tax year 2017 is $.48822, .1001 less than the 2016 rate.  The debt service component of that rate is $.19985 and the General Fund rate is $.28837.
