City officials are proposing a property tax increase to pay for critical needs and debt service. This would be the first tax increase in about 10 years. A public hearing was held to discuss the proposed millage rate increase from 4.949 mills to 7.732 mills. Some members of the public expressed opposition, noting that rising property values have already led to higher taxes.

The city's tax rate has remained relatively flat for the past decade. Further details on the proposed tax increase and the public's response are available.

The proposal is currently under consideration, with more information available from the city.
