The council approved a resolution enabling the city manager to affirm a reduction of the Delaware South New Community Authority millage to 4.0 mills for the next collection year.

Finance staff told council that collections and the debt-paydown schedule for the Delaware South NCA have progressed ahead of original estimates, allowing for a reduction in the millage without jeopardizing debt service. “After review of how much we brought in in collections … we think that we can reduce the millage down to 4 mills for the next collection year,” Finance staff said, adding forecasts that the millage could be reduced further the following year.
