Council hears concerns about mailed tax notice showing commercial assessment increase
Summary
A council member raised concerns about a mailed tax notice that showed 'about 11% increase for commercial in Sheldon'; staff pointed the council to a memo on the April 1 agenda for further discussion and clarified that action is restricted before that date.
During the city manager’s report, a council member raised concerns about a recently mailed tax notice that presented an apparent increase in commercial assessments. "It showed you know about 11% increase for commercial in Sheldon," the council member said, asking whether the city had information to explain the figure.
Staff pointed council members to a memo linked to the April 1 agenda packet and said they would provide additional background at that meeting. Staff also reminded the council of procedural limits on discussion before April 1 (no action may be taken on the ceiling amount before the scheduled date). Council members agreed April 1 would be the appropriate forum for additional discussion and any formal action.
The council did not take action at the meeting and directed staff to provide clarifying information at the next meeting.
