Carter Lake City Council sets April 6 public hearing on proposed property tax levy
Summary
The council unanimously set a public hearing for April 6 at 7 p.m. on a proposed property tax levy and debated publishing a higher proposed rate (transcript reference: '10') to allow room to lower it later; the county filing deadline was noted.
Carter Lake City Council set a public hearing for the proposed property tax levy on April 6 at 7 p.m., a motion the council approved by roll call. Councilmembers Victor, Matt, Aaron and Jackie each recorded a “yes” vote.
Council members discussed what proposed levy to publish to the county by the filing deadline. The transcript records a prior figure of 9.27 and a suggestion to publish a proposed figure of “10” so the city could lower the levy later if needed; the council noted the county deadline for filings. The discussion in the meeting transcript presents those numbers as council discussion and strategy rather than a final adopted levy amount.
No formal rate was adopted at the meeting; the April 6 hearing will be advertised and provide the formal forum for public comment and any further council action on a final levy. The council’s vote at this meeting related only to scheduling the public hearing and not to final rate adoption.
