Finance Director Richard Anderson said the 0.000922 rate is a 2.9 percent increase, about $7 a year for a residential property and $13 for a business, and that not raising the rate would hurt funding for the library and employee retention. Gail Yost opposed the increase. Katie Lee-Koven estimated her increase at about $10 and found it reasonable. Joshua Molitor supported it for emergency services but raised concern for renters. Roger Yost asked about assessments; Anderson said the county assessor sets values. Council Member López asked how $900,000 in budgeted raises would be funded; Anderson cited sales tax, property tax, permits and enterprise fund transfers.
