The Lamar City Council held a special meeting April 7 for a hearing on the proposed fiscal year 2027 maximum property tax levy, which the chair said is proposed at 11.17534 (down 5.89% from last year). No members of the public spoke; the council adjourned after routine motions.
The Chair opened a special meeting of the Lamar City Council Tuesday, April 7, to take public comment on the proposed fiscal year 2027 maximum property tax levy, saying, "the proposed tax levy is 11 point or 11.17534, which is down 5.89% from last year, which is 11.8705." The hearing was the only item on the special-meeting agenda.
The council had set the hearing date at its March 3, 2026 meeting, the Chair said, and reminded those present that the special meeting must be used solely for receiving public comment on the maximum levy. The Chair asked for comments from the public; none were offered.
Before the hearing the council approved the meeting agenda by motion and voice vote. After confirming there were no speakers for public comment, the Chair closed the hearing and members moved to adjourn. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded, and the meeting was adjourned.
The transcript records roll-call responses during opening: Wick, Sturgeon, Gruntz and Conyers were recorded as present; a response for Pick was not recorded in the transcript. No formal vote on the levy was taken during the special meeting.
