The City Council on Aug. 19 adopted the city’s operating budget and fee schedule for the next fiscal year, ratified long-range plans and set the property tax rate following a public hearing on a tax rate proposed at an earlier meeting.
The actions included adoption of the Coppers Cove Economic Development Corporation’s budget and the city’s long-range plans — described in the meeting record as the capital improvement plan, capital outlay plan and the personal improvement plan — and the council’s operating budget for the coming fiscal year. The transcript does not specify the adopted tax rate amount or any vote tallies.
Council members held a public hearing on a tax rate that had been proposed at a prior meeting before taking the approvals listed above. The meeting record indicates the council “took action to adopt” the named budgets and plans and then ratified those actions; it does not include motions, maker/second names, or vote counts in the provided transcript excerpt.
The meeting record does not specify how the newly adopted fee schedule will change individual fees or which departments will see budget increases. It also does not identify funding sources or provide dollar totals for the adopted budgets.
City staff and the council are expected to publish the full adopted budget documents, fee schedule and official tax-rate resolution on the city website for public inspection; the transcript directs readers to the city’s website for the complete meeting and for agenda notifications.
