Council adopts tax rate ordinance and amends purchasing limits
Summary
Clinton City Council approved Ordinance 701 setting the tax rate for fiscal year 02/2025 and Ordinance 702 amending purchasing limits; both passed on second and final readings with unanimous roll calls.
The Clinton City Council voted to adopt Ordinance No. 701, which sets the property tax rate for tax year 02/2025 (the transcript states the tax year runs from July 1, 2025, to June 2026), and to adopt Ordinance No. 702, which amends Ordinance No. 693 to change city purchasing limits. Mayor Burton called for motions and roll calls were held for both measures. Council members recorded their votes in roll calls: Councilman Queener, Councilman Foster, Councilman Harold, Councilman Gant, Councilman Hatmaker and Mayor Burton all voted “yes” on both ordinances. Both Ordinance No. 701 and Ordinance No. 702 passed on second and final reading. City finance staff explained the tax rate adjustment reflects rising appraisals: staff said the rate was lowered to offset higher assessed values so the city’s net revenue should remain unchanged after state certification. The council did not amend the ordinances during the meeting. No resolutions or additional related actions were taken at the meeting. Outcome: Ordinance No. 701 and Ordinance No. 702 approved on second and final reading with unanimous roll call votes.
