Eldridge City meeting opens public hearing on proposed FY27 property tax levy of 8.13052

At a short Eldridge City meeting, the chair opened a public hearing "for consideration of proposed fiscal year 27 maximum property tax levy of 8.13052," and the body approved a routine agenda item. No public testimony on the levy was recorded in the transcript.

The meeting began with the chair asking for a motion to approve the agenda. A motion was made and seconded; the motion was announced as "Motion by Dothrae" with a second "by Aschbach." The chair called for the voice vote, one participant said "Aye," and the chair declared the motion carried.

The chair then announced the opening of a public hearing on the proposed fiscal year 2027 maximum property tax levy and invited comment. The chair said, "I would entertain a motion to open the public hearing for consideration of proposed fiscal year 27 maximum property tax levy of 8.13052." When asked if she wished to comment, Erin said she did not. The transcript records no public testimony on the levy.

Participants checked the time—references to 8:45 and 8:46 appear in the record—and discussed waiting briefly for an expected attendee. One participant suggested that if the person walked in the group should "make a motion to close public hearing," but the transcript does not record a vote to close the hearing or any final action on the levy.

The chair asked for a motion to adjourn later in the exchange, and a line in the transcript records a motion attributed to Zach Bridges, but the transcript ends without a recorded adjournment vote or a final recorded decision on the proposed levy. The only formal action recorded in this transcript excerpt was approval of the meeting agenda; no outcome on the FY27 levy is shown.
