The Higginsville Board of Aldermen set the 2018-19 Tax Rate and approved a contact agreement during its meeting on Monday, August 22.
City Administrator Jeanette Dobson said the proposed tax rate of $1 and a third-of-a-cent per $100 of assessed valuation of real and personal property was approved by the board. She said it was an increase of about one cent from last year and is subject to change by the State Auditor’s office.
In other business, Dobson said the board approved a contract agreement with Merchant Flatwork for the concrete construction portion of the 2018 Street Improvement Program, with the work scheduled on 22nd Street.
Dobson also said the board approved to set the date for the Finance/Administration Committee meeting, which is scheduled to be held immediately after the next aldermen meeting on September 10.
