CITY COUNCIL ACTIONS

The City Council took the following actions at its meeting Wednesday:

PUBLIC HEARINGS

Consideration of alternative dates for real estate and personal property tax collection.

After hearing a total of eight speakers, four members of the council voiced concern over the change, saying the majority of their constituents did not support semi-annual tax collection. The council killed the proposal by not voting on it. They did, however, agree to further study changing the tax due date. No vote was taken.
