A proposed tax rate increase of less than a cent is planned. The current rate is $0.5580 per $100 valuation and would rise to $0.5653 per $100 valuation. This increase of about 0.0073 is described as a no-new-revenue tax rate.

City officials believe this change will not increase the burden on the community. A public hearing and adoption of the tax rate are scheduled for September 22.

Further details about the proposed tax rate and the city's budget are available, including the city council's voting schedule on the matter, with a vote set for September 15 and a discussion during a regular meeting.
