Yes, I would love for us to have that conversation now.
Great.
Commissioner Hertz, do you want to?
Sure.
So last year I advocated for a millage rate decrease.
I would advocate for a millage rate decrease again this year.
Holding it steady is acceptable, but not as preferable to me.
A millage rate increase would not be acceptable to me, and I'll tell you why.
We're moving forward with a referendum that is designed to reduce property tax burden on our residents.
It seems to me that it flies in the face of that referendum to go ahead then and increase our millage rate to offset what the taxpayers are trying to accomplish, assuming that that passes.
So I would not be in favor of it for that reason.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Go ahead, Commissioner.
So what I would like to see is an attempt for us to reduce our millage rate
Even if it's just a nominal amount, again, to show the taxpayers that we understand the economic stress that they're under.
Again, this was done by the county last year.
It should have been done by the city, I believe.
We didn't do it.
I think we missed an opportunity to show that we recognize the stress that our residents are under.
