( KNZA )-- The Hiawatha City Commission has adopted the 2013 budget as published, which calls for a one mill decrease in the property tax levy.
The budget was adopted following a hearing during a special meeting Monday evening drawing no public comment.
The budget contains an estimated tax rate of 46.9 mills, with the amount of tax to be levied at more than $975,000.
The city was able to reduce the mill levy due to a more than $550,000 increase in the city’s assessed valuation to nearly $20.8 million.
Mayor Crosby Gernon noted that for the third straight year expenditures have gone down. The 2013 budget call for total expenditures of more than five million dollars, a more than 1.1 million dollar decrease over this year.
Gernon says he thinks the commission has done a good job of containing costs. Commissioner Steffen Shamburg said credit should also be given to City Administrator Lynn Ladner and city staff.
