Summary
The Morrow City Council conducted a first reading of Ordinance No. 2025-05 to set a tentative 2025 millage at 7.514; city materials say adopting that rate would produce a 10.78% increase in property taxes. Public hearings were held at the preceding work session.
The Morrow City Council conducted the first reading of Ordinance No. 2025-05 on Aug. 26, 2025, setting a tentative 2025 millage rate of 7.514, the same nominal rate as the prior year. City materials noted that adopting that rate "will require an increase in property tax by 10.78 percent."
The first reading occurred following a public hearing notice and related disclosures required when a tentative millage rate produces an increase in property taxes. The ordinance includes information on rolled-back rates and other disclosures that the council must provide to the public.
No final vote was taken on the ordinance at the meeting; first reading was conducted to allow further public review and the formal adoption process. The transcript notes the public hearings on the tax rate were held during the council's work session earlier the same day.
The city did not provide additional cost or revenue estimates in the meeting minutes beyond the 7.514 millage and the 10.78% tax-change figure. Council members did not cast recorded aye or nay votes on Ordinance No. 2025-05 during the regular meeting's first reading.
