Mayor Corcoran Says ‘Thank You, Voters’

Issue #5: Police Levy – renewal of an existing 1.95-mill tax levy for the purpose of providing and maintaining motor vehicles, communications, and other equipment used directly in the operation of the Police Department, including payment of salaries of permanent police personnel, for a period of five years. This levy generates $1,509,317 in revenue annually.

Issue #6: Fire Levy – renewal of an existing 1.9-mill tax levy for the purpose of providing and maintaining fire apparatus, appliances and buildings and sites and for the payment of salaries for firefighters, for a period of five years. This levy generates $1,470,616 in revenue annually.

Issue #7: Roads and Bridges Levy – renewal of an existing 1.9-mill tax levy for the purpose of general construction, reconstruction, resurfacing and repair of streets, roads and bridges, for a period of five years. This levy generates $1,470,616 in revenue annually.

These three levies combined generate $4,450,549 in property tax revenues to the city. It is imperative that the city renew all three levies to continue the services that the residents have come to expect and deserve. Again, all three of these issues are renewal levies and NOT an additional tax increase.
