Council held the second Budget Workshop today. We accepted a proposed tax rate of $0.1741, about a $0.0129 cent increase, much less than expected with the additional bond expense which was estimated at $0.0249. The "proposed" tax rate means we cannot go above the amount accepted today. The next budget workshop is August 21 at 2 p.m.
