Friday, August 3, 2012

Confusion about whether the Jefferson City Council could increase the property tax levy this year lead to discussions of a potential special Finance Committee meeting.

At the City Council meeting Monday, a public hearing will be held on the property tax levy and a bill will be introduced for the council to set the levy for the year.
