TAX MILLAGE

millage could be adjusted from 5.00 mills to 5.22 mills to
equal the same tax dollars, this being a 4% increase in
taxable valuation in the city. Finance Director Sanchez
advised the formula required by the State in computing
certified millage adjusts taxable value in a manner that
generally produces a millage slightly higher than needed
to generate the same revenue as the previous year.
Mayor Smoak requested that Council be furnished with a
copy of the Certification of Millage and Taxable Value.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Smoak advised he felt the new minimum traffic fines
under the state law were excessive; That he desired his
opposition to them be a matter of record; and, That he
hoped the Police Department would continue to use discretion
in enforcement.
Mayor Smoak complimented Chief Tyndal and members of his
department regarding their surveillance of the Jaycee Beach
area, and advised he had received like comments from various
residents.
COMMENTS - COUNCILMEN

called to the excessive burning of lights during late night

in favor of youth activities, he felt the city's electric
consumption should be more closely scrutinized.
Councilmen Schroedel further advised he would be out of the
city during the month of August.
