City to Publish FY27 Tax Levy Notice Amidst Assessed Value Increase and Tax Collector Estimate Concerns
The board discussed and approved the publication of the FY27 tax levy and budget notice of public hearing. The millage rate for the upcoming fiscal year is $253.57 per mill, an increase from $241.32 last year. This reflects approximately a 5.2% increase in assessed values. Concerns were raised by board members regarding the accuracy of tax collector estimates, particularly for car tags, and a commitment was made to discuss this with the tax collector's office.
Pickering Firm Invoice of $14,000 Approved for ARPA Funding Match
The board approved the invoice to Pickering Firm for $14,000. This invoice was not originally on the docket but was added due to its eligibility for matching ARPA funds, which have an August 31st deadline. The city aims to secure all available ARPA match money.
City Council Expresses Dissatisfaction with Paving Contractor Lehman Roberts Over Delays and Quality Issues
The board discussed the ongoing paving project with contractor Lehman Roberts, highlighting significant delays and issues. These include milling streets and leaving them for extended periods (up to five weeks), requiring public works to fill gaps, and unpaved sections like Oak Grove remaining unfinished for over a month past the promised completion date. Concerns were also raised about paving over gutters and issues with previous work on Keeland Drive from last November that remains unrepaired. The contractor did not attend the meeting despite being invited. The city plans to hold payments on the current project until completion and ensure tighter contract terms with penalties for future projects.
Utility Adjustment Approved for 105-Year-Old Resident's Running Toilet Issue
The board approved a utility adjustment for Ms. Maxine Prior's house. The adjustment was for a running toilet inside the house, which city staff are not equipped to handle per policy. The recommendation to approve was made, and the motion passed. Ms. Prior is 105 years old.
Final Plat Approval Granted for 24 Lots in Delta Landing Subdivision (Phase 4)

This phase is part of the over 55 portion of the development and conforms to preliminary plat approvals and zoning requirements (PUED). Bulk requirements for home sizes and setbacks also conform to the original development plan. Approval was granted with 10 standard conditions.
