Public Safety Levy Presentations

Here are the presentations the fire and police chiefs presented at the Council of Councils meeting Tuesday night.

A couple of things to remember:

1. Slides 4 and 5 of the fire department's presentation are estimates only since the budget is not yet completed.

2. When reviewing the estimated additional property tax costs for a $100,000-$200,000 home, remember these figures are based upon your home's TAXABLE market value. This is NOT what your home can sell for on the open market. (Hopefully, your home could sell for a lot more). To find out the taxable market value of your home, go here. If your taxable market value is under $100,000 or $200,000 then you would pay less than what is estimated. If it's more, well, you get the idea.

Chief McCamley is working on getting a calculator on the city's website to help folks get a more accurate representation of what they would pay.

Sorry a no vote here, go ask the Mayor and Commissioners for the money from the general fund. Yes you know the general fund, of which is supposed to pay for these things (our tax dollars) that the commission and mayor used to pay-off SME.
