This meeting’s purpose was to establish the millage rate for the city and how to allocate those funds into a set budget for the upcoming year. The new millage rate of 7.500 mills was approved for the fiscal year of 2016-2017, which is an increase of 5.47% from last year, in addition to a new budget for the upcoming year. 2.
