Maysville aldermen vote to place 50-cent property tax renewal on ballot for street repairs
Summary
The Maysville Board of Aldermen voted unanimously Jan. 22 to place a proposed renewal of a $0.50-per-$100 property tax levy for four years on the ballot to fund street repairs. The ordinance was advanced by title in first and second readings with unanimous roll-call votes.
The Maysville Board of Aldermen voted unanimously Jan. 22 to place a proposed renewal of the city property tax levy — $0.50 per $100 of assessed valuation for four years — on the ballot for street repairs. Alderman Clint Sollars moved to put the ordinance on its first reading by title only; Alderman Amy Justus seconded and the roll call showed Sollars, Justus, Harwood and Zieber voting yes.
A second-reading motion to finalize the ordinance was made by Alderman Peggy Harwood and seconded by Alderman Larry Zieber; the board again recorded unanimous yes votes. The ordinance text presented during the meeting described the measure as “a renewal in the city property tax levy of 50 cents per $100.00 valuation for a period of 4 years for street repairs.”
The transcript contains inconsistent ordinance numbering: the first-reading motion references “#2015-17,” while the second-reading motion references “#2025-17.” The record before the board confirms the tax rate and the four-year renewal as the substance of the ballot question; the ordinance number is not consistently recorded in the meeting transcript.
No members of the public spoke during the ordinance discussion, and the board did not amend the substance of the measure during the Jan. 22 session. The board set procedural steps by advancing the ordinance by title at both readings; the next steps will be administrative preparation for the ballot placement and any required public-notice processes.
