KPL seeks surcharge amid Lawrence tax dispute
A letter from KPL president Balfour Jeffrey to Mayor Emick outlines a $581,676 net increase with a $532,196 pass through and $49,480 absorption. The plan would set a citywide surcharge near 10 percent based on 1972 taxes and 1973 values, reflecting lower city mill rates. Officials note a four mill drop in 1973 and discuss impacts on KU and other customers while debating fairness and purpose.
