New Haven board adopts Ordinance No. 522 setting property tax rate
Summary
The New Haven Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Ordinance #522 Series 2024 on Sept. 19, approving the city's property tax rate after a second reading and roll-call vote.
The New Haven Board of Commissioners unanimously adopted Ordinance No. 522 Series 2024 setting the city's property tax rate at its Sept. 19 special meeting. Joanie Corbin read the second reading of the ordinance, and Commissioner Ruth Faulkner moved to approve; Commissioner Lois Boley seconded. The roll-call vote recorded five "yes" votes from Faulkner, Mike Morris, Mayor Linda Mattingly, Boley and Fred DeWitt, and the motion carried.
The adoption came during a brief administration section of the meeting. Mayor Linda Mattingly and board members did not record additional amendments or conditions during the second reading reported in the minutes. The ordinance passage is a formal action by the board and will determine the city's property tax levy until altered by future board action.
Board members handled the matter as a formal vote rather than an extended public debate. The next procedural step for the ordinance (publication, effective date or filing) was not specified in the meeting minutes.
For context, the board also approved routine agenda items at the start of the meeting, including the previous meeting minutes and the financial reports. The board adjourned at 5:24 p.m.
