Saint Paul library board adopts request to levy property taxes, approves mayor’s maximum levy
Summary
The Saint Paul Public Library Agency board voted unanimously to adopt a resolution asking the city to levy property taxes for the library at the maximum levy proposed by the mayor. Two board members were excused.
The Saint Paul Public Library Agency board voted 5-0 to adopt a resolution requesting that the city levy property taxes for the library, approving the maximum levy proposed by the mayor.
Board members said the library is a separate agency that must adopt its levy independently. Council Member Coleman moved to approve the resolution; no second was recorded in the meeting record. Chair Jost announced the vote as five in favor and the resolution was adopted. Board members Naker and Yang were noted as absent and excused.
Agency staff explained that because there will be no further library-board meeting before the tax deadline, the board needed to adopt the agency’s overall maximum levy at this session. There was no substantive discussion or amendment recorded on the levy amount during the meeting, and no dollar figure or levy rate was specified in the meeting transcript.
With the resolution adopted, the board adjourned.
