Votes at a glance: commission approves notice of public hearing on revenue neutral rate, approves claims and payroll
Summary
The Leavenworth City Commission set a public‑hearing schedule on the city’s intent to exceed the revenue‑neutral rate by approving Resolution B‑2400 and approved consent claims and payroll items; motions carried by voice vote.
The Leavenworth City Commission approved three procedural items during the meeting:
- Resolution B‑2400: Commissioners approved a resolution providing notice of a public hearing on the city’s intent to exceed the revenue‑neutral rate. City staff clarified the resolution only sets hearing dates and preserves options; voting no would have locked the commission into a revenue‑neutral posture, staff said. The motion to approve was moved and seconded and carried on a voice vote.
- Consent agenda — claims and payroll: The commission approved claims dated 06/20/2025 through 07/02/2025 in the amount of $1,643,568.13 and payroll (payroll number 13, effective 06/27/2025) in the net amount of $461,036.90, which included police and fire pension contributions totaling $7,753.58.
- Adjournment: The commission adjourned by motion at the end of the meeting.
The commission did not record a roll‑call tally in the minutes for these items; the meeting record indicates motions were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff emphasized that approving Resolution B‑2400 preserves future choices on the mill rate and does not commit the commission to a particular tax action.
