Property valuations are up

In other business Monday, City Administrator Scott Flory said he has received notification that city property valuations are up 4.5 percent.  That will translate to roughly $19 million for the city’s budget.  The number is consistent with trends in recent years.

The valuations will form the basis for the city’s 2016 fiscal year budget.

Flory also said City Hall renovations are nearing completion and should be completed this month.  An open house will be scheduled at a later date to showcase the project.
