Body

BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:

City Council held work sessions on the FY 2018-19 Budget and 2018 tax rates on August 13, 14, 15, and 20, 2018.  The first public hearing on the proposed rate was held on August 23, 2018.  The 2018 tax rate is scheduled to be adopted on September 10, 2018.

There is no proposed tax rate increase for FY 2018-19.  Therefore, the total proposed tax rate for tax year 2018 is $.48822, equal to the 2017 rate.  The debt service component of that rate is $.20985 and the General Fund rate is $.27837.
