Commissioner Burke asked why this is being done.
Acting City Manager Daughtrey said because the City made a mistake on the advertisement. In
order to receive the millage that was advertised, the City has to acknowledge the error and make
clear that there will not be an increase over what was approved. If the City does not approve this
millage rate, they will have to go back to the rollback rate and there will be nine hundred ninety
seven thousand nine hundred and eleven dollars in funds that they will not be able to spend.
Mayor Pigatt asked the manager how did this happen.
Acting City Manager Daughtrey said the numbers in the advertising were transposed, but the
total did not change. The state told them they needed to make the change because of this.
Mayor Pigatt said moving forward, something like this should not happen again.
