Red Oak City Council opens and quickly closes FY2026 property tax-levy hearing after no public comment
Summary
At a March 31 special meeting, the Red Oak City Council opened a public hearing on the Fiscal Year 2026 property tax levy at 5:32 p.m., received no public comment, closed the hearing at 5:34 p.m., approved the agenda and adjourned the meeting unanimously.
Red Oak City Council Mayor Shawnna Silvius called a special meeting to order March 31, 2025, at 5:30 p.m. at the Red Oak Fire Station to hold a public hearing on the City’s property tax levy for fiscal year 2026.
The council first approved the meeting agenda by motion. Councilman Tim Fridolph moved to approve the agenda; Councilwoman Sharon Bradley seconded and the motion passed on a unanimous roll call vote of five in favor.
Councilman John Haidsiak then moved, and Bradley seconded, to open the public hearing on the FY2026 property tax levy at 5:32 p.m. No members of the public offered comment. With no testimony or further discussion, Haidsiak moved and Bradley seconded to close the hearing at 5:34 p.m.; that motion also passed unanimously. The council adjourned the special meeting at 5:34 p.m.
The hearing record in the meeting minutes does not state any proposed levy rates, dollar totals or changes to the prior year’s levy; those details were not specified during the session. City Administrator Lisa Kotter and City Clerk Ashley Wilson were listed as present in the meeting record. Councilman Brian Bills participated virtually.
Because no public comments were recorded during the hearing, the council did not take further action on the levy at that meeting. Any formal adoption, rate setting or ordinance related to the FY2026 property tax levy would need to appear separately on a subsequent council agenda.
