At a special meeting on Aug. 7, the City of Josephine council moved to set a proposed maximum property tax rate of 0.481878 for the fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, 2026, and called a public hearing for Aug. 20, 2026, at 6 p.m.
A council member formally proposed the motion during consideration of new business: "I'll make a motion to approve the proposed maximum tax rate of point, I'm sorry, 0.481878, unless council changes and schedules a public hearing on the tax rate for 08/20/2026," the council member said. The motion was seconded and the council proceeded to record responses by roll call.
The transcript records members answering when called; it also notes that Pam Sardo was not present and that Mayor Tierney was "present and not voting." The record in the transcript does not provide a clear, complete numeric vote tally for every seat, so the exact yes/no count is not specified in the meeting record provided here.
The hearing date sets the next formal opportunity for public comment and for the council to consider adopting a final tax rate within the limits set by state and local rules. After scheduling the hearing, a council member moved to adjourn and the meeting concluded.
