City staff recommended the council certify a proposed millage rate of 4.05 mills for the upcoming fiscal year and the council voted to approve the certification.
The city manager explained that the rollback rate for the city is 3.9402 mills and that the proposed 4.05 mills is 2.79% greater than the rollback rate.
