Municipality Sets the 2013 Millage

The agenda for Tuesday's Commission meeting states that the Municipality will be reducing the millage from 5.43 mills to 4.51 mills.

Consideration of Resolution No. R-6-13 fixing a tax rate for 2013.

On December 11, 2012, the commission, through Ordinance 3226, set the millage for 2013 by formula to comply with application anti–windfall legislation and court orders. The municipality is now formally establishing the rate previously set by formula. The 2013 rate will be 4.51 mills. The 2012 rate was 5.43 mills on each dollar of assess valuation.

Recommended Action: Move to adopt Resolution No. R-6-13.

On the School Board front, the final budget for 2013-14 will be presented and discussed Monday evening as listed on Monday's agenda. Will the millage remain at a millage rate of 27.67 (unadjusted for any change in assessed value) an increase of .54 mills (unadjusted for any change in assessed value) over the 2012-2013 school year? Isn't the proposed budget supposed to be available in its final form on May 10? It is May 10, and I don't see anything on the District website.
