Brownsville council approves 10% certified levy after Truth in Taxation meeting
Summary
The Brownsville City Council approved a certified levy of $174,801, a roughly 10% increase over the prior year, following a Truth in Taxation meeting that drew no public comments. The council also noted impending sewer fee increases and that townships were invoiced for fire protection.
The Brownsville City Council voted to approve a certified levy of $174,801 at its Dec. 4, 2024 meeting, a figure recorded in the minutes as a roughly 10% increase from the prior year. Mayor Jean Meyer presided over the meeting, and Treasurer Jenna Knight advised the council on levy calculations and township invoicing for fire protection services.
The action came after the city’s Truth in Taxation public meeting, which Mayor Meyer opened at 7:00 p.m. and closed at 7:03 p.m. after hearing no public comments. The council discussed the potential combined impact of the levy and looming sewer‑fee increases, but the minutes do not record a roll‑call of individual votes for the levy motion.
The approved levy replaces a proposed levy of $178,979 (recorded in the minutes as about a 12.6% increase); the minutes state the council ultimately approved $174,801. Treasurer Jenna Knight also noted that the townships have been invoiced for fire protection services.
The council adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
