Board Boosts Levy Retains Per Capita Tax
The board keeps the per capita levy while trimming the millage from 22 to 18 percent of city valuation. The move relies on assessed values, and overall tax impact is an approximate two mill increase based on current city assessments. The decision preserves funding through the per capita levy while shifting property tax weight.
Heated Debate Marks Directors Discussion On Taxation
In a Saturday session the board discussed millage rates and tax assessments. Officials debated city and county valuations and the impact on school funding for the coming year.
Dissenting Voices in Budget Meeting Recorded
The minutes show members voicing opposition to the proposed levy with Mr Patterson and Mr Loveland opposing further payments for the Fale ground site and continuancy of the Physical Education Department. Mr Ames and Mr Love preferred to be recorded against the tax, while Mr Sweet supported the budget in a detailed vote.
