The proposed mill levy is 54.999, slightly higher than current year. Estimated valuation of mill is $43,518. The slight increase allows the city to take care of items that need to be addressed like repair of Van Gogh painting, begin demolition of commercial structures, roof replacements, etc. The money will not fund the entire improvement but gets city in direction to address the improvement.
