City plans 5 cent tax cut for next year
Frederick Mayor Ronald N. Young outlined a five cent lower tax rate of $1.70 per $100 of assessed value for fiscal 1980, with water and sewer rates rising 10 percent to fund capital improvements. Minimum-use charges stay the same, while higher users pay more. He noted the rate is below the state constant yield rate, and any higher rate would require a public hearing. The city aims to follow a federal wage guideline of 7 percent and includes a new Capital Improvements Program in the budget, with final details due by May 29. Budget figures will reflect new accounting procedures for federal funds and grant revenues. Last year’s city budget totaled $529 million, with $14 million for water and sewer and about $221,000 for parking. Continued on Page A.
