The City of Cleveland will hold the first of three required public hearings to address this year’s tax millage rate tonight at 6:30 p.m.
At a city council meeting on August 1, City Administrator Kevin Harris said they will be advertising a partial rollback for the city tax millage. Harris said that they don’t have as many funding resources as the county and school board so they could not do a full rollback, which both the White County government and the White County Board of Education have indicated they want to do.
Since it isn’t a full rollback, the city is required to hold three public hearings on the millage rate and accept public comments.
In addition to the first hearing tonight, August 15, at 6:30 PM, the city will hold two hearings on August 23 at 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The public hearings will be held at Cleveland Community Center/Police Department Building 342 Campbell Street in Cleveland.
The 2022 millage rate will be voted on by the city council at 6:45 p.m. on August 23.
