City mayor hints at four cent property tax hike
Frederick Mayor Paul Gordon said a 4 cent increase to 1.65 per 100 value may replace the proposed 6 cent rise in the 1992 general fund budget. Saved funds from delayed homeless shelter money and other cuts could trim the hike, but two police positions and higher landfill fees still require revenue. Aldermen debated alternatives, with some advocating more cuts and others preserving services. The panel endorsed efforts to protect a projected $2.5 million surplus for next year, while delaying capital projects like Carroll Creek Flood Control.
