Property Tax Increase

A resident submitted a letter suggesting the city look into a cultural sales tax instead of raising property taxes and questioned the use of impact fees for a 'NINJA course'.

A resident expressed support for the tax increase, noting the value of city services like fire protection, parks, and road maintenance.

Speaking as the wife of a 25-year Murray firefighter, she supported the tax increase to ensure public safety workers have the resources and teamwork needed to keep the community safe, while thanking the Council for trimming the original proposal.

In an email, he urged the City to explore alternative funding sources like the ZAP arts and cultural tax rather than raising property taxes, and cautioned against using impact fees for discretionary amenities.
