Special $250000 Fund For A Civic Center Questioned
The Pella Community School Board and city officials investigated a rumored $250,000 fund for a civic center. Officials found no such dedicated fund. The 2% mill fund should cover building projects amounting to about $400,000 by 1977-78, reducing the bond issue to $3.1 million. The Federal Revenue Sharing account totals $291,000 but lacks earmarked use. If such a fund exists, sources invite information.

Mills Depart: Iowa Tax Shift From Mills To Dollars Per Thousand
Iowa shifts property taxes from mills to dollars per thousand. The change, praised by officials, arrives amid confusion over assessment equalization and valuation base. Under prior rules a $10,000 home at 27 percent yielded $2,700 assessed value and up to 30 mills, or $81 tax. The new system tax equals 30 mills as $3.10 per thousand of actual value, simplifying calculations for residents assessing spending proposals.
