Council discusses millage options and schedule as budget process moves to September
Summary
Council discussed beginning the budget at a 5.25 millage rate, whether to pursue a lower millage after updated numbers, and the legal timeline for hearings that begins in September.
Council members revisited the starting point for the property-tax millage and the overall budget timeline. A council member (S6) reminded the table that the process began with a 5.25-mill starting point and asked whether there is appetite to lower it after updated revenue and expenditure figures are finalized.
Staff said the next formal budget steps and legal advertising begin with meetings in September and that any change to millage requires timely action to meet the statutory notice process. The council agreed to have updated budget material and to schedule additional meetings in August if needed to finalize the millage before the September hearings.
