Top issues during term (4)(Budget)
Effective tax rate calculation
No direct cost; it begins the formal tax rate process for the coming year.
water rate refunds
Could affect how much the city subsidizes household water bills.
utility system financial losses
That’s roughly $600,000 a year in losses that taxpayers or ratepayers may have to cover.
municipal budget and salary increases
If the raises go through, expect either a higher tax bill, cuts elsewhere in the budget, or both—depending on how Rockport balances the books.
