City commissioners approve a 1.63 mill reduction totaling 206000 in gains and losses across departments. Major cuts include 16000 for a new airport truck, 30000 for street sealing, 12000 for cutting wireless links to cemeteries and parks, and 50000 for dugout work at Peebles Complex. Health insurance increases will raise 60000, with prior steps reducing reserves and raising utility payments. If a 3.062 mill increase stands, overall taxes rise about 10 percent. homeowners see increases from 177.85 to 195.45 on 50000 homes and 355.70 to 390.91 on 100000 homes. The city hopes to gain another 100000 if the county opts out of a Jennie Barker Road project, potentially trimming engineering fees by 100000 and narrowing the project scope. The city’s mill levy will be added to county and local district levies.
