A public hearing is scheduled for September 1 to discuss a potential tax rate increase. This increase is intended to offset rising expenses, including maintenance and interest costs. A vote on the proposed tax rate is set to take place on September 15.

The proposed tax rate would be higher than the current rate. City staff have put forward a specific rate, which is the maximum that can be approved without requiring voter approval. Further details about the proposed tax rate and the factors contributing to its increase are available from the original report.
