We are, I forgot I don't think I said declaring an emergency today and declaring an emergency. Go ahead.

So, this is the 2nd reading, which cannot happen until 14 days after we did our final budget adoption. This is the earliest we can actually do the 2nd reading. We are proposing to leave the tax rate at 1.0783 per 100 dollars. Just like last year.

Because of the county deadline of August 17th that we need to submit this by, we need to approve this tonight by emergency.

I just wanted to verify. They're not raising the taxes. Correct? They're staying the same.

Mr mayor council member, correct? So the actual rate stays the same at 1.0783 per 100 dollars of assessed value. However, if your property increased in value, or you added something to it, and as a result, it increased in value, you will get a higher tax bill. It is the same rate per 100 dollars.

Thank you for the clarification.
