Rate Increases

Several rate increase will kick in on July 1, according to the proposed budget. There's the 1/2% sales tax increase adopted last December, a 5% increase in water and sewer rates, a 75 cent refuse fee increase, as well as a 25 cent increase in recycling fees. No cost of living or merit pay increases for city employees not part of bargaining units with multi-year contracts and no further use of unpaid employee furlough days. Zero city property tax levys continue as well.

On and this will be the first year of payments to SIUC for the Saluki Way project.
