the hearing at 7:42 p.m. announcing the time, place and purpose of the
hearing. Agnes Bennick reported that this annual process sets the amount of
property tax collection. The collection consists of the highest lawful levy
(generally the prior year’s collection), plus a 1% or $7,990.03 increase to that
amount. The second part of the collection is the value of new construction, as
determined by the assessor, times the current years tax rate of
$2.559083291298 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, bringing an additional
$58,703.02 in taxes for 2006. The final part of the collection is based upon
state assessed utility values, which won’t be available until December. No
increase has been projected.
Being no questions or comments, Mayor Pro Tempore Harding closed the
