“I am pleased that the council decided to remove advocating for an increase to the property tax cap,” Stucky wrote in an email. “While I respect the viewpoint of others who believe that allowing cities to raise the tax cap during difficult times or when additional funding seems necessary could be beneficial, I have concerns. Since the city has historically always voted to uphold the 1% tax cap each year, I worry that any increase to that amount could become more or less automatic, regardless of the actual need.”


The topics include child care, emergency services, flexible real-estate excise tax, NASWI and more.
