TAX MILLAGE Mayor Smoak questioned a published figure that the city's 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.
