Neodesha approves resolution to levy property tax above revenue-neutral rate
Summary
The Neodesha Board of Commissioners unanimously approved Resolution 25-17 on Aug. 27, 2025, authorizing a property tax levy the minutes describe as exceeding the Revenue Neutral Rate; the resolution text in the minutes includes both 61.340 mills and a levy figure of 65.640 mills.
The Neodesha Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 25-17 on Aug. 27, 2025, authorizing the city to levy a property tax rate that the minutes describe as exceeding the Revenue Neutral Rate. Commissioner Banzet moved to approve the resolution and the roll-call vote was recorded as unanimous, 3–0.
The minutes state the Revenue Neutral Rate was "calculated as 61.340 mills by the Wilson County Clerk" and that the resolution directs the City of Neodesha to "levy a property tax rate exceeding the Revenue Neutral Rate of 65.640 mills." The record in the minutes contains both numbers; the resolution and roll-call vote in the minutes indicate the governing body adopted the measure as written. The hearing required for exceeding the rate was opened by Mayor Johnson, public comment was heard, and the hearing was closed before the vote.
The action was recorded by City Clerk Stephanie Fyfe. The minutes do not identify a second for the motion. The commission voted—Commissioner Banzet: aye; Commissioner Truelove: aye; Mayor Johnson: aye—and the motion carried 3–0. The record does not provide additional detail reconciling the two mill figures included in the text.
