Aldermen add 2026 general-levy ordinance to agenda, clerk reads proposed ordinance
Summary
The Board of Aldermen voted to add an ordinance setting the general municipal levy for 2026 to the meeting agenda; the ordinance text was read into the record for consideration and further process.
The Board of Aldermen voted to add an ordinance providing for the general levy for municipal purposes for 2026 to the meeting agenda. A board member moved and a second was recorded; aldermen voted in favor to put the ordinance on the agenda. A reader on behalf of the city read the ordinance language into the public record: “An ordinance providing for the general levy imposition of annual tax for general municipal purposes for the year 2026 and for imposition of annual tax…” The reading was paused briefly for a clerical correction to the year before resuming. A board member then reminded the public that the meeting had added estimated times for agenda items to help keep the discussion on track. The ordinance was added to the agenda for deliberation and any required public hearings; the board did not adopt the levy during the same meeting but placed the ordinance on the agenda for first and second reading as the public-hearing schedule requires. No specific levy rates or dollar amounts were set or adopted during the meeting; the document was read into the record and will proceed through the board’s ordinance-reading process.
