(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission has approved for publication a proposed 2019 city budget of $8.8 million that contains a one mill property tax levy decrease.
The Commission took the action when they met Monday evening.
The proposed budget contains an estimated tax rate of 53 mills, which is to generate more than $1.2 million in revenue.
Mayor Steffen Shamburg said he thinks its a “ pretty good budget.”
Shamburg said the Commission was able to lower the property tax levy due to an increase in the city’s assessed valuation.
The Commission will consider adoption of the budget following a public hearing at their July 2nd meeting.
