Summary

City staff recommended keeping the tentative millage at 6.25 but presented the rollback rate (6.2375), which would reduce revenues by about $21,000; council adopted the rollback rate and scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 14.

Finance staff (Lisonbee) proposed setting the tentative millage rate at 6.25 but noted the rollback rate would be 6.2375 and would reduce revenue by about $21,000 if adopted. “If we went to the rollback rate, it would save us about $21,000 at 6.2375,” Lisonbee said, adding that the difference is small but has symbolic implications in notices to taxpayers.

Council discussed other planned rate and fee changes in the coming months — including water and sewer rate increases and a new stormwater drainage fee — and then moved to adopt the rollback millage rate and schedule the required public hearing for Sept. 14, 2026. The motion to adopt the rollback rate carried by voice vote.
