Watch this moment →The city is proposing a tax rate that matches last year's, but state law requires it to be presented as an 'increase' because it is higher than the 'no-new-revenue' rate. Residents expressed concerns about the cost of living and the need for better oversight of city spending.
What it means: The proposed rate would result in a 2.02% increase in taxes on the average homestead due to rising property values.
Raised 2 times this week
Follow this issue →The city and police union are negotiating a new contract that could change how officers are paid and how they take time off for union business. These changes aim to help the department keep officers and stay competitive with other agencies.
What it means: Police officers would benefit from clearer career progression and more flexible leave options.
