City Auditor Seeks Higher Mill Tax Rate to Meet Demands
City Auditor Keating reports that full department requisitions would push the mill tax to at least 16 mills. He urges reductions of a year’s requisitions by about half a million to set a 15.6 mill tax, noting two thirds of the budget comes from department estimates and one third from auditor appropriations and funded debt, with the fiscal year starting April 1. The auditor plans to trim department estimates to reach an equitable city tax rate.
