City administrator previews proposed tax‑levy rates ahead of public hearing
Summary
At the Aug. 19 meeting the city administrator presented preliminary levy rates for the public hearing: a proposed general fund levy of 0.4362 (down from 0.4662) and a proposed general obligation levy of 0.3664 (a slight increase); staff said a public meeting will be held Monday at 6 p.m. to present the budget and levy.
The City of Carl Junction’s administrator told aldermen Aug. 19 the administration plans a public meeting Monday at 6 p.m. to review the proposed 2025 property‑tax levies and budget.
The administrator said the proposed general fund levy would be 0.4362, down from the current 0.4662, and the proposed general obligation levy would rise to 0.3664 (staff said the prior general obligation rate was slightly lower but did not read the earlier figure). The administrator said the hearing would follow the format advised by the city’s auditor and encouraged residents to attend and ask questions.
Council members noted that the session will include a public comment period and that staff will distribute the form and levy details as required by statute. The board did not adopt the levy at the Aug. 19 meeting; staff called the Monday session a budget/levy public meeting for additional public comment and formal consideration.
Residents and others interested in the city’s budget and proposed tax rates were invited to attend the meeting, during which staff said they will open the floor to public comment and present the proposed numbers.
