The governing body unanimously adopted its 2026 millage rates at a meeting that began at 5:30 p.m., approving a maintenance and operations (M&O) rate of 15.208 mills and a debt service rate of 1.418 mills.

The rates were presented by Mr. Hamill, who recommended to Dr. Young that the governing body keep the M&O rate at 15.208 mills (it was 15.28 last year) and the debt service rate at 1.418 mills (the transcript referenced 1.418 last year and 1.4188 this year). "I recommend for approval that we maintain the millage rates in place at 15.208 for M&O and 1.418 for debt service," Hamill said.

Motion to adopt the millage rates was made by Mr. Grimes and seconded by Mrs. Hoyes. After no discussion, the presiding speaker called for the vote; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote as recorded in the meeting transcript. The meeting record shows the body then adjourned.

The action finalizes the local millage figures that determine property tax calculations for the coming year; no additional details on projected revenue, budget allocations, or public comment on the rates were recorded in the transcript provided. The meeting contained one substantive agenda item (the millage rates), and the adoption occurred with minimal discussion and no recorded dissent.

The transcript does not specify the name of the governing body, the meeting date, the number of members voting individually, or any accompanying budget ordinance or resolution number that would formally enact the rates into the jurisdiction's fiscal documents. Those details were not specified in the provided record.
