Garden City council tentatively sets ad valorem tax rate for FY2026 to allow required advertising
Summary
The council added and approved a time‑sensitive resolution to tentatively set Garden City’s FY2026 ad valorem rate so staff can begin public advertising; council members voted to authorize the process.
Council members on June 15 approved a resolution to tentatively set Garden City’s ad valorem (property) tax rate for fiscal year 2026 and to authorize staff to begin required public advertising.
The item was moved onto the agenda as a time‑sensitive matter and the city manager explained the purpose: setting a tentative millage rate so the city can advertise and allow the council to study a possible increase. "This is a time sensitive matter because we need to start advertising for the millage rate for an increase," the city manager said as the council considered adding the resolution to the agenda.
After discussion, members voted on the resolution to tentatively set the rate and authorize staff advertising; the clerk announced the motion carried on a roll call vote.
The tentative rate allows the city to meet statutory notice requirements while staff and council continue deliberations on the final tax rate prior to final adoption.
