Administration sends resolution of necessity for fire-levy renewal to board of elections
Summary
The administration asked the finance committee to send a "resolution of necessity" to the county board of elections to start the process of placing a renewal fire levy on the May ballot; the resolution is the procedural first step and does not increase tax rates.
City administration presented a "resolution of necessity," the procedural first step in placing a renewal fire levy before voters in May. The resolution asks the county board of elections to verify numbers and determine the appropriate millage for a renewal; administration emphasized this is a renewal ("no tax increase in May") and the board of elections will certify the millage before an ordinance is prepared.
The finance committee moved to put the resolution on the full council agenda as an emergency and recorded committee votes in support. Administration said the goal is to have the ordinance ready by the last council meeting in January so the levy can appear on the May ballot.
