Proposed 2013 Seneca City Budget Approved for Publication
The Seneca City Council has approved for publication a proposed 2013 budget of nearly 7 million dollars that calls for no change in the property tax levy.
The proposed budget approved for publication Wednesday evening contains an estimated tax rate of 32.338 mills, which is expected to generate nearly $588,000.
Even though the budget calls for a more than 155-thousand dollar increase in expenditures over this year, the city was able to hold the mill levy at the same rate due to a $334,000 increase in the city’s assessed valuation to nearly $18.2 million.
The council will consider adoption of the budget following a public hearing at their August 15th council meeting.
